Fig. 1

Minimum Spanning network illustrating the diversity of haplotypes of the mitochondrial control region of 35 modern wild and domestic Sus taxa and seven prehistoric domestic pigs (in red). The network is based on the 637 bp-alignment. The size of the circles is proportional to the number of individuals sharing the haplotype and the numbers are shown in the circles. Colour-coded connecting lines illustrate the number of nucleotide differences between haplotypes: 1 = blue, 2 = green and 3 = purple. Nucleotide differences between haplotypes greater than 3 are indicated by the boxed digits placed on the connecting lines. Detailed information on taxa and samples is given in Table 1 by defining the specimens’ status as domestic or wild and indicating the pig breed, if applicable.
