Figure 3.
A phylogenetic tree for 137 representative mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b (cyt b) alleles of Micaelamys namaquensis from southern Africa as obtained by BEAST analysis. Divergence dates (epochs) are indicated in the grey-scale key at the bottom of the figure. Lineages A - H mainly correspond to different biomes or bioregions of southern Africa (Figures 1 and 5; see text for some minor exceptions). Colours correspond to those in Figures 2, 4 and 5.
