Figure 5. Minimum spanning haplotype network derived from a 658 base-pair cytochrome c oxidase subunit I in Six degrees of separation in barnacles? Assessing genetic variability in the sea-turtle epibiont Stomatolepas elegans (Costa) among turtles, beaches and oceans

Figure 5. Minimum spanning haplotype network derived from a 658 base-pair cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) fragment from 57 Stomatolepas elegans collected from nine different Lepidochelys olivacea nesting on Playa Teopa, Jalisco, Mexico, six S. elegans from Caretta caretta from the western Atlantic, and six S. praegustator from C. caretta from the western Atlantic. Circle sizes are proportional to the frequency of each haplotype, with haplotype 1 being most common. Coloured pie slices are also proportional, and represent the number of S. elegans from each turtle characterized by the respective haplotype. Colours represent the nine Mexican turtles randomly sampled for S. elegans populations. Open circles with numbers indicate Atlantic haplotypes. Solid black circles designate hypothetical missing haplotypes. The network includes S. elegans haplotypes 1–21, and S. praegustator haplotypes 19, 26–30. Haplotypes 1–17, shown in colour, represent Jalisco, Mexico specimens collected from nine different turtles in the Pacific, and haplotypes 18–21 and 26–30, shown as unshaded circles, represent southeastern United States Atlantic specimens collected from six different C. caretta (see Table 1).
