Neighbour-net network showing relationships among ancient British and modern and ancient beavers. Data is comprised of partial (492 bp) tRNAPro-Control regions mitochondrial haplotypes and comprise haplotypes generated here (prefixed ‘MM’), ancient haplotypes generated by Horn et al.26,48 and modern relict population haplotypes previously described by Ducroz et al.23, Durka et al.24 and Senn et al.14. British data are clustered closely together within the Western ESU and show no level of genetic distinctiveness from other Western populations.
