From: Unraveling the phylogenetics of genetically closely related species, Haemaphysalis japonica and Haemaphysalis megaspinosa, using entire tick mitogenomes and microbiomes

Figure 2

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among H. japonica and H. megaspinosa specimens from Japan using a Bayesian MCC tree based on the translated concatenated sequences of 13 protein coding genes. The tree was rooted to H. flava which is the putative sister-species to H. japonica and H. megaspinosa (Barker unpublished data). In the tree, the clade representing specimens from H. megaspinosa is highlighted in blue, while H. japonica specimens are further subdivided into two clades highlighted in light cyan and green.
