Figure 3. Maximum likelihood reconstruction of the suborder Calcaxonia (rooted to Funiculina, a sea pen) based on concatenated sequences of the 5′ end of mtMutS, cox1 and 18S (64 taxa, 2924 bp; GTR+I+G model; 500 bootstrap replicates).

All five families of the Calcaxonia are represented. Node support values from the ML analysis (>70%, bold) are indicated under each node, and node support values from the Bayesian analysis (>0.90) are above each node. Chrysogorgiidae taxa are either color coded (MCC) or have bolded branches (nonMCC).
