A phylogenetic hypothesis for the phylum Nematoda based on an SSU-sequence dataset

Figure 2A: A dendrogram summarizing the results of Blaxter et al's MP and NJ analyses. For each branchpoint, the maximal percentage bootstrap support in NJ analyses is given. They defined five major clades in the Nematoda (from bottom, I–V).

A Bayesian tree of the phylum Nematoda


Figure 1: Bayesian tree of the phylum Nematoda. Alternating yellow and green backgrounds define the subdivision of the phylum Nematoda into 12 clades. Within each clade, nematode families have separate colors. Support values are indicated at the deep nodes: the first number (black) is the Bayesian PP and the second number (orange) is the MP bootstrap value. “-” indicates that the node was part of a polytomy in MP. Other nodes down to the family level are marked with a black asterisk if the support from the BI tree is significant (PP ≥ 95) and an orange asterisk if the support from the MP tree is significant (bootstrap ≥ 65). Underlined family names are paraphyletic, family names marked with an asterisk are polyphyletic, and family names in italics are embedded in another family. The black and white bars indicate (sub- and infra-) orders as defined by De Ley and Blaxter (2002, 2004). Plant parasitic and fungivorous taxa are indicated by a pictogram and a purple (fungivores) or green (plant parasites) arrow or bar. The insert shows the most distal part of the tree in more detail.
