Figure 2. A, maximum likelihood tree inferred from 18S in Morphological, ontogenetic, and molecular investigations of freshwater hypotrich ciliates from China revealed a new genus Heterodeviata gen. nov. (Protista: Ciliophora), and a novel limnetic population of Deviata multilineae

Figure 2. A, maximum likelihood tree inferred from 18S rRNA gene sequences, showing the phylogenetic positions of the two newly sequenced species. Numbers near the nodes represent the ML bootstrap support and BI posterior probability values. Fully supported (100%/1.00) branches are marked with solid circles. 'Asterisks' indicate disagreement between the ML and BI trees. Sequences newly obtained are in pink. The scale bar corresponds to one substitution per 100 nucleotide positions. B, the tree is made referring to the ML tree in a radiation view, showing the likely systematic relationship of Heterodeviata with related genera. C, topology of species within Deviatidae in Bayesian inference (BI) tree. '**' indicates the sequence Perisincirra sp. (KY855575) is probably misidentified, which should be conspecific with Deviata brasiliensis.
