Rhodopsalta cruentata

A sister-group relationship is found between NI and SI R. cruentata , with the exception of two Wellington specimens that group within the SI clade ( Figs 4 , 5A ). These relationships are informed primarily by the cox1 gene. Some weak geographical concordance is present. The earliest splits in the NI R. cruentata clade divide a set of samples from north-eastern NI from the remainder, and the majority of south-eastern NI individuals, specifically from Hawkes Bay (HB) and Rangitikei (RI), form a weakly supported subclade distinct from the rest of the NI specimens. Within the mainly SI R. cruentata clade, the earliest splits separate samples from the northern part of the range of the clade [Wellington (WN), Marlborough Sounds (SD) and northern Kaikoura (KA)].

Figures

Figure 4. Bayesian phylogenetic tree based on 2284 bp of concatenated genes (5′ and 3′ cox1 and EF1α). Six partition subsets were used (by gene and codon position for each gene, respectively). Branch support values represent Bayesian posterior probabilities and RAXML bootstrap percentages from 1000 non-parametric pseudoreplicates. The number of parsimony-informative sites is 300. Grey boxes show mean divergence time estimates and 95% confidence intervals from the *BEAST analysis.

Figure 5. Single-gene Bayesian phylogenetic trees based on mitochondrial cox1 (1486 bp; A) and nuclear EF1α (798 bp; B) using CIPRES v.3.3. Branch support values represent Bayesian posterior probabilities and RAXML bootstrap percentages from 1000 non-parametric pseudoreplicates. The number of parsimony informative sites is 239 for cox1 and 61 for EF1α.
