Fig 1.
Haplotype network (Cytb) of Laticauda semifascaita from East Asia.
The four major geographic areas in Taiwan-Ryukyu Archipelago (Taiwan, southern, central and northern Ryukyu) are color-coded. Each circle in the network represents a haplotype, and the color represent the geographic origin, while the size represents the frequency of the haplotype. For clarity, we only label three haplotype names, which were found in new specimens examined in this study. The map of Korea indicates the location of each individual, as well as its matching haplotype in Taiwan and the Ryukyu Archipelago. Arrows indicate the path of the major ocean currents in the region. TSWC; Tsushima Warm Current.
