Figures

Figure 5 Geographical distribution of mitochondrial clades found in Trachypithecus phayrei Sample locations are numbered as in Figures 1, 2 (see also Supplementary Table S1) and colored according to their mitochondrial clade assignment. Limits of the Central clade to the northeast and East clade to the southwest, depicted in light green, are not yet firmly resolved. Samples from locations 6–9 form Central clade A, while those from locations 10–12 cluster in Central clade B. Note, at location 10, haplotypes of the Central and East clades were found. Museum specimen from location 13 cluster unexpectedly with Central clade A (see Results).
