Fig. 46. Maximum­likelihood tree of Matsui et al. (2005) for East Asian ranids, based on mitochondrial 12S and 16S rRNA sequences (total of 1,283 bp). Sequence alignment was done under ClustalX (Thompson et al., 1997) with cost functions not disclosed and subsequently adjusted manually, guided by secondary structure models as suggested by Kjer (1995). Modeltest 3.06 (Posada and Crandall, 1998) was used to select nucleotide evolutionary model (GTR) assumed for analysis. Fejervarya and Buergeria were used to root the tree.
