Sampling localities of all studied Buthus populations.

Fst values between populations estimated under the K2P substitution model; significance values (bold, α = 0.05) were assigned using 1000 permutations.
Figure 1.
Maximum Likelihood (ML) (a) and Bayesian Inference (BI) tree (b) rooted with Androctonus mauretanicus (N = 1) and Androctonus spec. (N = 3) as outgroups.
Numbers at nodes refer to bootstrap support for ML analyses and posterior probabilities for BI. Figure 1c shows a Bayesian Inference tree including all Buthus COI sequences available from genbank (sequences taken from genbank indicated by stars). For detailed information of sequences taken from genbank see appendix SI.
Figure 2.
Geographical distribution of all sampling sites and the 12 genetic groups and three subgroups around the Atlas Mountains in Morocco.
Numbers of sampling sites coincide with numbers given in Table 1. Letters of the groups correspond with Figure 1. The geographic coordinates of sampling sites are given in Table 1. Abbreviations: SV: Souss valley, DV: Draa valley, DaV: Dades valley, ZV: Ziz valley. Country border between Morocco and Algeria is indicated by a dotted line.
