Geographical distribution of different A. torrentium mtDNA phylogroups in Europe produced in ArcGIS 10.3 program package and finished in the program Inscape 1.0 by authors of this study. Symbols used on the map: dots represent samples from previous research [3,4,5], and triangles samples from this study. Colours depict mitochondrial phylogroups: black—central and south-eastern Europe (CSE), blue—Gorski Kotar (GK), purple—Lika and Dalmatia (LD), orange—Žumberak, Plitvice and Bjelolasica (ŽPB), pink—southern Balkans (SB), green—Banovina (BAN), red—Zeleni Vir (ZV), gray—Apuseni Mountain (APU) and turquoise blue—Kordun (KOR), new phylogroup discovered in the present study. River systems abbreviations: Db Danube, Dr Drava, Sv Sava, Ti Tisza, Mo Morava. Also shown: the extent of the Lake Pannon at 9.5 Ma, 6.5 Ma and 4.5 Ma (adapted according to Magyar et al. [76]) and shaded in blue. Possible pre-glacial and post-glacial dispersal routes are indicated; red arrows indicate: (1) possible colonisation of the Apuseni Mountains through delta systems of paleo-Danube and paleo-Tisza on the northern shelf margin of the Lake Pannon and (2) colonization of southern Balkan after formation of the freshwater Danube drainage system. Orange arrows (3) indicate post-glacial recolonisation of northern part of A. torrentium areal through leading edge expansion of CSE phylogroup (adapted according to Klobučar et al. [4]). Shaded gray area in the main map is enlarged in the bottom left corner
