The black line in (b) shows the terrain altitude profile (c) crossing from the Serra da Mantiqueira to the Atlantic Ocean. The collection sites are labelled as follows: 1, Itatiaia; 2, Bocaina; 3, Tinguá; 4, Guapimirim; 5, Sana; 6, Florianópolis. Sequences from Florianópolis (6), located in the Brazilian South Region, were retrieved from GenBank and included in the analysis for comparison. The altitude profile points are 1.25 km from each other and displays a horizontal scale of 1:500,000 and vertical scale of 1:50,000.
