Reduction of genetic diversity along the rabbit domestication route.
<p>Each of the 45 circles represents a single microsatellite coloured according to the proportion of the expected heterozygosity per microsatellite present on its respective population. Note that the two wild samples (Iberian Peninsula and France) are proxies for the ancient wild samples that were involved in colonization of France and domestication. Shaded areas indicate the different bottleneck events that occurred at the colonization of France, initial domestication event, and breed formation. Values aside arrows show the amount of genetic diversity lost in each event estimated using a resampling methodology (See <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0144687#sec002" target="_blank">Methods</a>).</p
Phylogenies of wild and domestic rabbits based on chord genetic distance.
<p>Trees were constructed using all 45 microsatellites. Branches are coloured according to individual’s origin. (A) Neighbour-joining tree for 471 individuals rooted with wild rabbits from the Iberian Peninsula. (B) Unrooted Neighbour-joining tree for 340 domestic individuals from 16 different breeds.</p
