Figure 9 in Reconstruction of the pharyngeal corpus of Aphelenchus avenae (Nematoda: Tylenchomorpha), with implications for phylogenetic congruence

Figure 9. Simplified relationships between nematode models with reconstructed sensory anatomies and preliminary mapping of characters based on simple parsimony. Relationships shown are a consensus of published phylogenies inferred from 18S and 28S rRNA sequences (Blaxter et al., 1998; Holterman et al., 2006; Meldal et al., 2007), although placement of the root varies amongst some analyses. Numbers correspond to characters (left of dash) and states (right of dash) drawn from Table 2. *Polarity of character is hypothesized given the state in Myolaimus byersi (suborder Myolaimina; Giblin-Davis et al., 2010), which is a possible outgroup to all nematodes in tree (Nadler et al., 2006).
