Phylogenetic relationships of the Pristionchus genus. The schematic phylogeny shows the relationship between all species of the Pristionchus genus as inferred from transcriptome data (Rödelsperger et al., 2018), including those described in the two accompanying manuscripts (Yoshida et al., 2018; Kanzaki et al., 2018).
