Figure 2: Phylogenetic trees of 16S rRNA gene from the Stichopodidaefamily. (A) The maximum-likelihood tree. Each branch length was measuredby the number of substitutions per site. (B) The neighbor-joining tree. Theevolutionary distance was computed using the Kimura 2-parameter method,and a unit of the number of base substitutions per site was used. (C) Themaximum-parsimony tree. Bootstrap percentage in % of 1,000 replications wasshown on the interior branches with support when it is higher than or equal to50 %. Several clades within the same genus (depicted as black wedges) werecollapsed.
