Figure 2. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of selected members of the Plectanocotylidae.

Figure 2

Only clean COI sequences were selected and the dataset had 396 positions for sequences 396 base pairs in length. The tree was obtained by the Maximum Likelihood method and a similar tree was obtained by the NJ method; bootstrap values for ML below branches, for NJ above branches. Each nominal species is represented by a distinct clade with high bootstrap values (97–99 ML; 100 NJ). Plectanocotyle lastovizae is sister-group to P. major (90 ML; 88 NJ). A sister-group relationship between Triglicola obscura and a clade formed by the three Plectanocotyle species was found, but with low values (54 ML; 75 NJ). Scale: base differences per site.
