FIGURE 1. Doryporella spathulifera (Smitt, 1868), Lectotype (designated here) SMNH-Type-1729a, Hinlopen Strait, Svalbard, Norway. A. General view of the fan-shaped colony with subsequent generations of zooids budded only distally from the ancestrula. B. Close-up of the tatiform ancestrula and periancestrular zooids. C. View of colony growing edge showing paired distal pore chamber windows. Asterisks indicate kenozooidal ovicells. D.

Scale bars: A = 2 mm; B–D = 500 µm.

Figure 4 in Multilocus phylogeny, natural history traits and classification of natricine snakes (Serpentes: Natricinae)
Figure 4. Best shift configuration sampled by Bayesian analysis of macroevolutionary mixtures (BAMM) for the natricine phylogeny. Colours along the branches represent instantaneous rates of speciation, and the red circles represent shifts in the diversification regimes. These shifts are on branches leading to the North and Central American group (upper red circle) and one of the major Asian clades (lower red circle). For complete phylogeny, see Figure 2. For complete geographical distribution information, see Figure 6.

Figure 1 in Multilocus phylogeny, natural history traits and classification of natricine snakes (Serpentes: Natricinae)
Figure 1. Global distribution of natricine snakes. Broad areas of distribution in different regions of the world are coloured and labelled. Important biogeographical regions used in the analysis are highlighted with borders of different colours.
Figure 2 in Multilocus phylogeny, natural history traits and classification of natricine snakes (Serpentes: Natricinae)
Figure 2. Maximum likelihood (ML) tree showing inferred relationships among natricine snakes. Maximum likelihood bootstrap support (BS) and Bayesian posterior probability (PP) values are shown at each internal branch. Posterior probability values <0.75 and BS values <75 are not shown. Tips for which sequence data were newly generated in the present study are shown in bold.
