FIGURE 2. Phylogenetic relationships of Barbastella sp. n. based on A) ND1 sequences (929bp), B) partial cytb (609bp) sequences and C) COI (523bp) sequences. The scale indicates genetic distance estimated by the Kimura 2-parameter method on the NJ tree. The bootstrap values derived from 1000 replication for NJ tree / maximum likelihood probabilities. Specimens of Plecotus auritus (ND1 HM164052; COI JF443099) or P. sacrimontis (Cytb OCUM5351) were used as an outgroup. The sample numbers correspond to those in the Appendix (Tables A1, A2).
