Figure 1

Cladogram of 16 hexapod species analysed in this study. The cladogram was manually built based on the phylogeny published by Misof et al. 2014 (see Methods)33. The taxon sampling includes eight asexual lineages along with their closest sexual relatives as present in 1KITE, covering eight hexapod groups. Sexual and asexual lineages are depicted in red and blue, respectively. Silhouettes courtesy of Hans Pohl.
