Rhodopsalta leptomera

The trees reveal strong support for a split between R leptomera along the northern coasts of NI, including Northland (ND), Auckland (AK), Taranaki (TK) and Waikato (WO), vs. the eastern and southern coasts of NI, including Hawkes Bay, Wairarapa (WA) and Wanganui (WI) ( Figs 4 , 5A ). Both individual cox1 and combined gene trees show one R. leptomera specimen from the far north (05. NZ.ND.TOB.02; Karikari Peninsula) as sister to the rest of the clade ( Figs 4 , 5A ).

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.
