Historical and fossil samples used to obtain genotypic and sequencing data for the mitochondrial control region.

*toepads with mtDNA fragment shorter than 450 bp were not used for comparison of contemporary and historical genetic diversityInformation on mitochondrial fragment length, sampling location and the corresponding cluster identified in TESS (See [45]) are given. The four fossil samples were not amplified for microsatellite markers. Abbreviations call on Hum, humerus; Tt, tibiotarsus.
