Figure 3

Minimum-spanning networks and haplotype frequencies in two sky-island archipelagos. Two sky-island archipelagos showing haplotype networks (insets) and haplotype frequencies for each sky island. Postglacial divergence is supported by the star-like pattern of shared (colored) and private (white or patterned) haplotypes. This pattern is nested within a more extensive genetic structure in the Arizona archipelago and haplotypes from the major genetic groups (I, II and III) are shared among sky islands, suggesting population mixing during the last glaciation. Other equally parsimonious links connect rare, peripheral haplotypes to each other or to common, interior haplotypes in genetic group III, but these links do not change the overall pattern and have been omitted for clarity of presentation. Sampling sites are: 1, Pajarito Mountains; 2, Huachuca Mountains; 3, Sierra San Jose; 4, Pinaleño Mountains; 5, Chiricahua Mountains; 6, Chisos Mountains; 7, Sierra del Carmen; 8, Serranías del Burros; 9, Sierra Santa Rosa; 10, Sierra Madre Oriental.
