From: Late Quaternary loss of genetic diversity in muskox (Ovibos)
Cyt b (1,180 bp) from a representative EH specimen (OMTai39) compared to modern Ovibos moschatus (OMMod01-05). Maximum parsimony tree using goat and sheep as outgroups. Calculated bootstrap support is shown for parsimony/neighbor joining/maximum likelihood at each node. Although analysis returned an evaluation of "ns" (no statistical support) for a given grouping in only one instance, significance of results should not be overemphasized. Nevertheless, it is parsimonious to conclude that (1) all muskoxen form a cluster as against sheep and goat, and (2) moderns form a structureless subcluster as against the extinct haplotype represented by OMTai39.
