Points represent tips and nodes of the tree. At the same time, lines correspond to branches (AS: azooxanthellate solitary, AC: azooxanthellate colonial, ZS: zooxanthellate solitary, ZC: zooxanthellate colonial, UncS: uncertain for symbiosis, UncC: uncertain for coloniality, TransS: transition for symbiosis, TransC: transition for coloniality). A The complete colonization process from the MRCA to the current species. Inferior panels differentiate taxa originated B at a constant (n = 497) or decelerated (n = 3) rate (slow colonization, n = 500) and C at an accelerated rate (fast colonization, n = 518), i.e., only descendant nodes are represented, and colors represent the state of the branch that originates them. Branches are not represented in panels B and C; vertical lines represent the depth interval. The back-transformed depth is indicated for visualization purposes.
