Figure 8

Part of the phylogenetic trees for Bayesian analysis (A) and maximum parsimony analysis (B) for the nineteen myxosporean taxa that form the hepatic biliary clade; taken from trees generated using the same alignment of 54 taxa used in Figure7. Thick branches represent a support value of >95 and (ns) indicates nodes with a support of <50. Sphaeromyxa lycodi is strongly supported in a clade with other sphaeromyxid taxa and has Myxidium coryphaenoideum as the closest known relative in both trees, but receiving very strong support in the Bayesian analysis. Shaded boxes represent clades that were recovered in all analyses.
