White rhinoceros distribution, population structure, and phylogeny. (A) Historical distributions of the northern (red) and southern white rhinoceros (green) in Africa according to work by Rookmaaker and Antoine (2012). (B) ADMIXTURE results of the nine northern and four southern white rhinoceroses. All individuals were grouped in two clusters (K = 2) colored by population. (C) PCA, with PC1 explaining 35% of the variance, and PC2, which explained 10%. (D) Maximum likelihood tree of the relationship between northern and southern white rhinoceroses using genome-wide SNPs.
