Figure 3. CenH3 losses associated with holocentric transitions are unique to insects.

Figure 3.

Phylogenetic relationship of holocentric lineages are schematized. Transitions to holocentricity (M → H) and the absence (black box) or presence (empty box) of CenH3 are indicated. Inferred evolutionary origin of a first ‘potentiating event’ (indicated with a star) together with subsequent recurrent transitions to holocentricity allowing the loss of CenH3 in four insect lineages.
