Figure legends
Figure 1. Discriminant analysis of principal components of genetic
variation among microsatellite samples of Lithobates catesbeianus
invasive populations.
Figure 2. Parsimony consensus tree with haplotypes from native range
(Austin et al., 2004), Europe (Ficetola et al., 2008), China (Bai et
al., 2012), non-native areas of USA (Kamath et al., 2016), and samples
from the present work. Clades East and West refer to distribution in the
native range (Austin et al., 2004). Map contains the haplotypes’
distribution around the world. Color legend follows both map and
phylogeny. Terminal labels with GenBank accession number starting with
AY correspond to haplotypes found in the native distribution (Austin et
al., 2004) and labels starting with KX correspond to haplotypes found in
the invasive distribution in the USA (Kamath et al., 2016).
Figure 3. Bullfrog invasion pathways diagram based on literature
information. Arrows and dates indicate the direction and date of each
event of invasion, question marks indicate unknown source of
introduction, and crosses indicates supposedly non-successful
establishment of the introduced animals. The green arrow indicates
possible successful genetic flow in disagreement with previous
literature.
