Supplementary Figure 1: Cytb (A) and RyR3 (B) gene trees for 739 individuals [534 from this study and 205 from Qiu et al. (2016)]. For the sake of presentation, the relationships of only the 113 different haplotypes of Cytb and 68 distinct alleles of RyR3 are shown. “ECS” and “SCS” mark the two sister groups of Cytb haplotypes and RyR3 alleles, which are reciprocally monophyletic, congruent, and diagnostic for the ECS and SCS lineages, respectively. ECS and SCS sequences are distinguished by their lower- and upper-case lettering, respectively, whereas haplotype and allele frequencies of >0 for the six geographic samples are shown to the right. Posterior probabilities are presented for those groups with >50% support, whereas branch lengths are drawn proportional to their median estimates of expected substitutions/site.

Supplementary Figure 2: First and second PCoA coordinates for the codominant genotypic distances of the six geographic samples. The percentage of total variation, which is explained by each coordinate, is given in brackets.
