Fig. 2From: Range-wide genetic analysis of Dermacentor variabilis and its Francisella-like endosymbionts demonstrates phylogeographic concordance between both taxaPhylogenetic relationships among 332 geographically diverse D. variabilis ticks from the USA and Canada. A maximum parsimony consensus of three equally parsimonious mitochondrial cox1 trees is given, illustrating a deep phylogenetic split within the greater D. variabilis population. D. reticulatus serves as the outgroup speciesBack to article page
