Maximum likelihood tree including 26 publicly available COI-5P mite sequences (in grey), as well as our 130 individual mites sequenced from the Ross Sea region that were grouped into 13 genetic clusters (putative species) based on morphological identifications and sequence-based analyses. Each cluster was found in only one of the major biogeographic regions, being restricted to one of the Queen Maud Mountains (QMM), South Victoria Land (SVL) or North Victoria Land (NVL). The Lauft Island population of Nanorchestes was most similar to one of the QMM species. See the supplementary figures for a more detailed version of the tree. Created with BioRender.com.
