Figure 3.

Genetic subdivision among giraffe groups and populations based on Bayesian cluster analysis [23] of 14 microsatellite loci from 381 individuals. Shown are the proportions of individual multilocus genotypes attributable to clusters (K) indicated by different colors. Sample group designations and sampling locations are denoted. We varied K from 2–16 and at least six groups corresponding to currently defined subspecies and 11 geographic clusters are resolved as indicated.
