Unrooted phylogram illustrating phylogenetic relationships of Scottish Highland red deer and the 47 sequences of Cervinae download from GenBank. The phylogram was constructed using Bayesian inference with a General Time Reversible Model+γ model (Rodríguez et al., 1990) for mtDNA control region sequences. Bayesian posterior probability values are shown in bold and above the branches. MPB support values (Felsenstein, 1985) are shown in italics and below branches. Branch length units are expected substitutions per site. Haplotypes are labelled as species or locations of haplotypes found in previous studies or as labelled in this study (see Supplementary Information). For those haplotypes found in this study, the sampling sites where they were found are shown in brackets (see Figure 1 for population name abbreviations). Branches with thick black lines highlight possible deer translocation events.
