Neighbor-joining (NJ) topology of the analyzed ground beetle species based on Kimura 2-parameter distances. Triangles show the relative number of individual’s sampled (height) and sequence divergence (width). Red triangles indicate species with intraspecific maximum pairwise distances > 2.2%, blue triangles species pairs with interspecific distances < 2.2%. Numbers next to nodes represent non-parametric bootstrap values > 90% (1,000 replicates). Images are provided for species recorded in Germany whereas asterisks indicate species not recorded in Germany. All beetle images were obtained from www.eurocarabidae.de except of Poecilus sericeus (photographer: Katja Neven, Lars Hendrich).
