The graph shows the percentage of repeat elements composing the repetitive landscape in each sex type of C. rufifacies. Retrotransposons composed of SINEs, LINEs and LTRs occupied approximately 7% of the total repeatome, while DNA transposons occupied approximately 3% of the repeatome in the male and male producing females and ~ 2% in the female producing females. Satellites and rRNA can barely be seen on the graph as they occupied only 0.07% and 0.05% of the repeatome respectively. Simple repeats were the predominant repetitive element occupying almost 65% of the whole repetitive landscape.
