Figure 7From: Genome fluctuations in cyanobacteria reflect evolutionary, developmental and adaptive traitsParsimony reconstruction of ancestral states of the filamentous and nitrogen-fixing phenotypes. Equivocal inference are indicated with bi-coloured branches. Genome sizes (in Mbp) is indicated at key nodes of loss/gain. Both characters show a homoplastic pattern with a possible single common origin of the trait followed by one (A) or many (B) losses.Back to article page
