Figure 3. Bdelloid rotifer: Maximum Likelihood tree made with PAUP using the procedure described by Hall [51].

Figure 3

The tree was rooted with clones of Rotaria, because several analyses support a basal position for this genus. Pairwise distances were corrected for multiple hits using a general time reversible model with site-specific substitution rates for the first, second, and third codon positions. Colored circles and triangles respectively indicate clades and singlets that were identified as species using the procedure described in the text. Pending formal species descriptions, these species are given temporary names consisting of the abbreviated genus and a number. Adi = Adineta; Hab = Habrotrocha; Sce = Scepanotrocha; Abr = Abrochtha; Mac = Macrotrachela; Rot = Rotaria; Pha = Philodina. Species labeled McBS1 and SnoF1 were not identified and are named after their sources (McBeth Spring and Snowy Range site F). Dashed lines were supported by <50% of 1000 neighbor-joining bootstrap replicas, each with 10 random-addition replicates.
