Fig. 1.
A UPGMA-Phylogenetic clustering tree constructed on the microsatellite genotypes showing relationships among seven populations of Pelodiscus sinensis. The dendrogram is based on Nei’s genetic distance derived from allele frequencies of 10 microsatellite markers. Numbers above branches indicate percentage of bootstrap values obtained from 1000 re-sampling cycles.
