The success rate of positive genotyping associated with the corresponding sample CT value, obtained from the qPCR 302/425 assay Fig. S2. Bayesian phylogeny of Bettoniga penicillata ogilbyi, showing the maximum a posteriori (MAP) tree generated using BEAST. A GTR+G+I substitution model (assuming strict molecular clock) was imposed on an alignment containing the 13 historical cytochrome b sequences (370 bp) and 15 modern sequences (1000 bp, identified with an *). Posterior probabilities are shown on the selected outer nodes. The scale represents the number of nucleotide substitutions per site. Fig. S3. Comparison between reconstruction of the woylie (B. penicillata) demographic history based on control region of mtDNA using a Bayesian Skyline Plot analysis implemented in BEAST v1.8 (Drummond et al. 2012) - black - and Migrate-n (Beerli 2006) - purple. Historical data (n=13) for these analyses were limited to samples that were geographically close to the extent populations. Shaded areas represent 95% Highest Probability Density (HPD) and 1.96 standard deviation from parameter values, respectively. Population size is expressed as population mutation parameter (Ө) and time as mutations per site per generation time.
