Maximum-likelihood phylogeny for <i>B</i>. <i>improvisus</i> candidate IRs including IR25a, IR8a, IR93a, and four divergent <i>Bimp</i>IR1-4.

Abstract

IR candidate amino acid sequences from B. improvisus were aligned with reference sequences from other arthropod species from NCBI: Parg P. argus, Dmel D. melanogaster, Phum Pediculus humanus, Dpul D. pulex, Ccly Coenobita clypeatus, Dsim D. simulans, Dyak D. yakuba, Dpse D. pseudoobscura, Dmag D.magna, Bger B. germanica, Crog Caligus rogercresseyi, Pser Palaemon serratus. See S2 File for the accession numbers. NMDA type receptors from D. melanogaster and B. improvisus were used as an outgroup. The numbers indicate bootstrap values for each branch. The scale bar indicates the inferred number of substitutions per site.</p
