Figure 2. Bayesian phylogram obtained with 18S and 28S in Congruence between molecular phylogeny and cuticular design in Echiniscoidea (Tardigrada, Heterotardigrada)

Figure 2. Bayesian phylogram obtained with 18S and 28S rRNA information combined, using all taxa considered in the present study (i.e. outgroups and eutardigrades from Table 3, heterotardigrades from Table 2, and Echiniscus species from Table 1). Above branches are posterior probabilities obtained in the Bayesian analysis. Below branches two values are provided: bootstrap support values from the ML analysis, and bootstrap support values from the parsimony analysis. A dash indicates absence of data for a given branch and analysis that had support in other analyses. Tardigrade classes (Heterotardigrada, Eutardigrada), orders (Apochela, Parachela, Arthrotardigrada, Echiniscoidea), and the family Echiniscidae are indicated.
