Figure 3:
Correlation of functional and replacement odontostyle to body length in juveniles and females of Iranian population of Longidorus proximus (Sturhan and Argo, 1983). In each stage the length of replacement odontostyle is equal to the length of functional odontostyle in the next stage.

Bayesian tree inferred under the GTR+G+I model from LSU rDNA D2-D3 expansion domains of Iranian population of Longidorus proximus (Sturhan and Argo, 1983). Posterior probability and bootstrap values exceeding 50% are given on appropriate clades in the form BPP/BS. The new sequences are in bold font.
