Bayesian phylogenetic tree of Cape buffalo mitogenomes (16,436 bp alignment) constructed in MrBayes. The cattle (
Bos taurus
) and water buffalo (
Bubalus bubalis
) reference mitogenomes were used as outgroups. Branches are coloured by posterior probability, as indicated by the colour scale bar. Posterior probabilities for nodes are only shown if less than one, with the exception of the node supporting the divergent Addo mitogenome (indicated by the arrow). Sample names are coloured by country of origin, and by protected area of origin in the case of South African samples, as in Figure 1A. Sample names are followed by the ISO 3166 two‐letter code of the country of origin, which refer as follows: BW, Botswana; ET, Ethiopia; KE, Kenya; TZ, Tanzania; ZA, South Africa; ZW, Zimbabwe. Samples from South Africa (ZA) are also followed by the protected area of origin.
