(a) Geographic location of the 14 populations of Mel-13 analyzed in the present study and the distribution of the 29 haplotypes detected (see Table 1 for population codes). Pie chart size corresponds to the sample size of each population. (b) Median joining phylogenetic networks among haplotypes of Mel-13. Maps were generated using ArcView GIS 3.2 (ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA) to estimate the distance between genets and locations.
