Molecular phylogenetic analysis by the Maximum Likelihood method based on D3 sequences. The GenBank accessions for the sequences identified in this study (named as D3Hx) are provided in Table 5. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the maximum likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model [1]. The tree with the highest log-likelihood (−744.91) is shown. The percentage of trees in which the associated taxa clustered together is shown next to the branches. Initial tree(s) for the heuristic search were obtained automatically by applying Neighbor-Join and BioNJ algorithms to a matrix of pairwise distances estimated using the Maximum Composite Likelihood (MCL) approach, and then selecting the topology with the superior log-likelihood value. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site. The analysis involved 16 nucleotide sequences. There were a total of 306 positions in the final dataset
