FIGURE 2. (A) Current mitochondrial Bayesian phylogenetic hypothesis of Vipera ursinii–renardi complex based on CYT B dataset of Ferchaud et al. (2012) and Zinenko et al. (2015); (B) Phylogenetic reconstruction of the concatenated dataset (mtDNA+nDNA genes) obtained in MrBayes/Maximum likelihood (see Table 1). Sequences of Vipera berus (Vbbe-HU, Vbbo-AL, Vbni-RO) included as outgroup are not shown. Bayesian posterior probabilities/bootstrap pseudoreplicates are shown at nodes; (C) SplitsTree phylogenetic network (Huson & Bryant 2006) of the dataset for five mitochondrial and nuclear loci sequenced in the present study using the neighbornet algorithm. Asterisks in Fig. 2C indicate both phased sequences in one branch. Numbers along the edges are the bootstrap support values from 1000 replicates. The scale bar indicates one substitution per one hundred nucleotide positions. Taxon names of the phylogenetic network correspond with the Table 1. Inset shows a male Greek Meadow Viper from Dhëmbel Mountains, Albania.
