Figure 1.
Base compositions of the codons of the mitochondrial COI gene.
(A) All codon positions, (B) 1st codon position, (C) 2nd codon position, (D) 3rd codon position, averaged over all 68 mite strains used in this study. Error bars depict range. Results of the homogeneity test are given for each codon position.

Figure 2.
Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree of the sub-family Tetranychinae based on the mitochondrial COI gene using the GTR Gamma model.
Bootstrap values (>50%) based on 1,000 replications are indicated at nodes. Each operational taxonomic unit is indicated by the voucher specimen no. and scientific name. Black circles with numbers indicate the clade no. which corresponds with the article.
Figure 3.
Base compositions of the (A) 18S and (B) 28S rRNA genes, averaged over all 88 mite strains used in this study.
Error bars depict range. Results of the homogeneity test are given for each gene.
Figure 4.
Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree of the sub-family Tetranychinae based on the 18S and 28S rRNA genes using the GTR Gamma model.
Bootstrap values (>50%) based on 1,000 replications are indicated at nodes. Each operational taxonomic unit is indicated by the voucher specimen no. and scientific name. Black circles with numbers indicate the clade no. which corresponds with the article. The tree is divided into three sections: (A) The entire tree, (B) Tetranychini-1, (C) Tetranychini-1, Eurytetranychini and Tetranychini-2 and (D) Tetranychini-3.
Figure 5.
Bayesian phylogenetic tree of the sub-family Tetranychinae based on the 18S and 28S rRNA genes using the GTR Gamma model.
Bayesian posterior probabilities (>0.50) are indicated at nodes. Each operational taxonomic unit is indicated by the voucher specimen no. and scientific name. Black circles with numbers indicate the clade no. which corresponds with the article. The tree is divided into three sections: (A) The entire tree, (B) Tetranychini-1, (C) Tetranychini-1, Eurytetranychini and Tetranychini-2 and (D) Tetranychini-3.
