A Reevaluation of the Status of the Foxsnakes Pantherophis gloydi Conant and P. vulpinus Baird and Girard (Lepidosauria)

Figure 2

Strict consensus tree of six equally parsimonious trees. See text for descriptive statistics of this tree. The hash marks represent unambiguous cyt-𝑏 synapomorphies, and the numbers associated with them are the nucleotide positions. The ovals also represent diagnostic characters, with E and W as east and west of the Mississippi River and 36.8 and 42.8 as the mean blotch count. The values separated by a slash represent bootstrap proportions (above the slash) and decay indices (below the slash). The boxed OTUs indicate individuals with haplotypes that do not correspond with distribution and suggest a zone of intergradation.
