Figure 5

Prior (straight, darker) and posterior (bell‐shaped, lighter) distributions of divergence times (T1, T2) estimated by popABC (Lopes et al. 2009) in three set of European wildcat samples assuming three demographic scenarios (i.e., scenarios 1, 2, 3; see Fig. S3). X‐axis = years; Y‐axis = density values of T estimates. Estimates of divergence times are determined in: (A) central European wildcats, among samples collected in central Germany, central Europe (Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, south‐western Germany), and Alps (Italian north‐eastern Alps and Dinaric Alps); (B) wildcats likely originating in the Mediterranean refugia of Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain), Italian Peninsula (western and central‐southern Apennines, Sicily), and in the Balkans; (C) Sicily, among wildcat samples collected in Italian peninsula, Sicily, and Alps.
