Fig. 4From: Molecular phylogenetics reveals convergent evolution in lower Congo River spiny eelsSpecies tree of African mastacembelid eels inferred from mitochondrial (cyt b) and two nuclear (S7 introns) markers (2702 bp), using coalescent-based species tree analysis with no data concatenation (STAR-BEAST). Nodes with Bayesian posterior probabilities >0.98 are indicated by circles at nodes. Letters correspond to node support values in Table 1 (nodes with posterior probabilities <0.6 collapsed). Names in blue italic indicate endemic non-cryptophthalmic LCR (Lower Congo River) species, names in blue bold italic indicate endemic cryptophthalmic LCR species, names in red italic indicate native, non-cryptophthalmic LCR species. Two Asian species (Mastacembelus armatus and Macrognathus zebrinus) are used as outgroupsBack to article page
