Maximum statistical parsimony network of the Amara communis complex. Used parameters included default settings for connection steps whereas gaps were treated as fifth state. Each line represents a single mutational change whereas small black lines indicate missing haplotypes. The numbers of analysed specimens (n) are listed, the diameter of the circles is proportional to the number of haplotypes sampled (see given open half circles with numbers). Scale bars 1 mm. Beetle images were obtained from www.eurocarabidae.de.
