Population structure of Dermacentor marginatus in Anatolia. (A) Ancestry of individual ticks (361 Anatolian D. marginatus individuals from 150 sites) assuming K cluster of genetic similarity, based on the results of STRUCTURE analyses using cox1 gene (K = 3). The first 19 sampling sites (L1-LM) contain samples from the CE population and the remaining locations groups (L16-27) contain samples from the NE population. Each bar corresponds to a tick specimen, vertical dashed yellow lines indicate the boundaries between sampling sites, and the vertical axis represents the membership probability of an individual to each cluster. (B) Maps showing genetic clusters of D. marginatus individuals (n = 361) according to 31 sampling sites, based on the results of SAMOVA using cox1 gene. The value K refers to the number of simulated groups. Satellite images were processed using SAMOVA 2.0 software.
