1 Electronic supplementary material for: Adaptive phylogeography: functional divergence between haemoglobins derived from different glacial refugia in the bank vole Petr Kotlík, Silvia Marková, Libor Vojtek, Antonín Stratil, Vlastimil Šlechta, Pavel Hyršl and Jeremy B. Searle Supplementary figures Rodent phylogeny Rattus Mus Peromyscus Clethrionomys Coding sequence Rattus HBB-T3 87 Rattus HBB-T4 99 Rattus HBB-T2 85 Rattus HBB-T1 Mus HBB-T1 95 Mus HBB-T2 100 Peromyscus HBB-T Peromyscus HBB-T2 Clethrionomys HBB-T1 Clethrionomys HBB-T ' Untranslated region Rattus HBB-T1 99 Rattus HBB-T3 100 Rattus HBB-T2 97 Mus HBB-T1 Peromyscus HBB-T1 82 Clethrionomys HBB-T1 87 Rattus HBB-T4 97 Mus HBB-T2 82 Peromyscus HBB-T2 Clethrionomys HBB-T Figure S1. Orthologous relationships of the two bank vole (Clethrionomys) β-globin genes with those of house mouse (Mus), rat (Rattus) and deer mouse (Peromyscus). Separate maximum likelihood trees were constructed for the coding region sequences and for the sequences of the 3 untranslated region. While the phylogeny of the 3 untranslated region of each gene reflects the relationships between the species, the coding region sequences group together the paralogous genes from each species to the exclusion of the orthologous genes from the other species, likely due to a history of interparalog gene conversion. The HBB-T4 gene of rat is orthologous to HBB-T2 genes of house mouse, deer mouse and bank vole, while the HBB-T2 and HBB-T3 genes of rat are duplicates specific to this species [1]. Numbers along branches indicate the percent bootstrap frequencies. 1

2 Figure S2. Protein analysis of bank vole haemoglobin. (a) Precipitated globin polypeptides separated by urea-cellulose acetate electrophoresis demonstrating the β-globin polymorphism underlying Hb S and Hb F. Polypeptides encoded by HBA-T3 are not visible on this gel due to the low expression level. (b) Disulphide-mediated polymerization of Hb F, but not of Hb S, following thiol oxidation by diamide. The formation of the high-molecular-weight smear during starch-gel electrophoresis of the Hb F haemolysate, accompanied by a loss of the major band corresponding to tertrameric Hb, is reversed by 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME), a disulphide-reducing agent. 2

Circle area is proportional to haplotype frequency, and circles are coded according to the presence of each haplotype at localities north of, south of, and within the haemoglobin frequency cline (figures 1 and S4), with Devon coded separately from other southern localities. Loops in the networks represent homoplasies, including possible recombination events. The Ser52Cys change is shown as black boxes and all other amino acid replacements as open boxes across branches. The Ser52Cys mutation is homoplasious in the HBB-T1 network and the dotted line connects its alternative occurrences. 3
