Neighbour-joining tree built for HVS-I. The bootstrap neighbour-joining tree inferred from 1,000 replicates represents the evolutionary history of 1,191 sequences (1,186 NCBI reference sequences and five fur samples) of the HVS-I marker. The reference sequences were retrieved from the species that presented almost 98% of similarity to the sequences obtained from fur samples A1, A2, A3, A4 and B6. The bootstrap percentage values are indicated at the nodes whenever larger than 50. In each clade, the number of comparison sequences is indicated below the name of the species. The Nyctereutes procyonoides clade is enlarged for better visibility within the grey box. This subtree is condensed for bootstrap values lower than 50 and only topology is shown. The position of the fur samples is indicated by grey dots linked to the name of the sample.
