Some Rare Indo-Pacific Coral Species Are Probable Hybrids
Figure 4
Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial sequence data.
The figure shows the majority rule (>50%) consensus tree obtained in a Bayesian analysis of mitochondrial sequence data for thirty-five Indo-Pacific Acropora species with the Caribbean species Acropora cervicornis defined as outgroup. Bayesian analysis used likelihood settings from best-fit model (HKY+I+G) selected by hLRT in MrModeltest 2.2 [12]: 5 million generations; burn in = 20,000. Numbers above branches are posterior probability values supporting the topology shown and clades are labelled according to previous [5], [9] analyses. Numbers after species names indicate the coral colonies from which the sequences were obtained.
