Figure 1 in Near-complete phylogeny of extant Crocodylia (Reptilia) using mitogenome-based data

Figure 1. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree based on the resulting mitogenomes except control region for all known Crocodylia species. The mitogenomes employed have been identified by their accession number to the GenBank database. Ten species (two pythons, one lizard, five birds, two turtles) were used as outgroups to root the tree. The numbers on the nodes indicate ML bootstrap support (shown as a percentage) and Bayesian posterior probabilities. These letters (A, B and C) indicate the families in Crocodylia (Crocodylidae, Gavialidae and Alligatoridae). The head shapes and dentition in 'typical' examples of the three families of living Crocodylia (dorsal and side views) (Illustrations DSK, courtesy Weldon Owen Publishing)(Grigg & Kirshner, 2015).
