Neighbour-joining tree built for 12S marker. The bootstrap neighbour-joining tree inferred from 1,000 replicates represents the evolutionary history of 285 sequences (280 NCBI reference sequences and five fur samples) of the 12S marker. The reference sequences were retrieved from the species that presented almost 98% of similarity to the sequences obtained from fur samples A1, A2, A3, A4 and B6. The bootstrap percentage values are indicated at the nodes. In each clade, the number of comparison sequences is indicated below the name of the species. The Nyctereutes procyonoides clade is enlarged for better visibility within the grey box.
