Fig. 3From: Update of the species checklist of Culicoides Latreille, 1809 biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) of MoroccoPhylogenetic tree based on cox1 polymorphism. In bold, sequences produced in this study with GenBank reference numbers in brackets. The evolutionary history was inferred using the Maximum Likelihood method and GTR+G+I model. This analysis involved 166 nucleotide sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated (complete deletion option); there were a total of 390 positions in the final dataset. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths corresponding to the number of substitutions per siteBack to article page
