Figure 2. Phylogenetic analysis of kangaroos and wallabies.

Maximum likelihood phylogenies inferred from the (A) mitochondrial (Mt₁₆) and (B) nuclear (Nuc₁₇) concatenated datasets, with RAxML bootstrap values (BP_ML) above branches and MrBayes Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP) below branches. The mt placement of M. dorsalis is derived from the reduced-length Mt₁₇ and the mt placements of M. antilopinus and W. bicolor (NSW, New South Wales) are derived from the Cytb ₁₈ alignment. Support for grouping M. eugenii and M. agilis increases (BP_ML = 88; BPP = 0.98) for Mt₁₆, which excludes M. dorsalis, but increases sequence length. Asterisks indicate full support. Clades including members of Macropus are shaded.
