Figures & Tables

Figure 1:

Light micrographs of Longidorus pauli (Lamberti et al., 1999) from Greece (A-N). A-E: Female anterior regions. F: Detail of base of odontostyle and odontophore, G: Vulval region showing sperm cells in the uterus, H-K: Female tail regions, L: Detail of sperm cells in male genital tract, M: Male tail region, N: Detail of spicules. a = anus; af = amphidial fovea; as = adanal supplement; c = cloaca; gr = guiding ring; Odt = odontostyle; Odp = odontophore; sp = spicules; spc = sperm cells; V = vulva. (Scale bars: A-N = 20 µm).

Figure 2:

Phylogenetic relationships of Longidorus pauli (Lamberti et al., 1999) within the genus Longidorus. Bayesian 50% majority rule consensus tree as inferred from D2 and D3 expansion domains of 28S rRNA sequence alignment under the general time-reversible model of sequence evolution with correction for invariable sites and a gamma-shaped distribution (GTR + I + G). Posterior probabilities more than 0.70 are given for appropriate clades. Newly obtained sequences in this study are shown in bold. Scale bar = expected changes per site.

Figure 3:

Phylogenetic relationships of Longidorus pauli (Lamberti et al., 1999) from Greece within the genus Longidorus. Bayesian 50% majority rule consensus tree as inferred from ITS1 rRNA sequence alignment under the TIM3 + G model. Posterior probabilities more than 0.70 are given for appropriate clades. Newly obtained sequences in this study are shown in bold. Scale bar = expected changes per site.

Figure 4:

Phylogenetic relationships of Longidorus pauli (Lamberti et al., 1999) within the genus Longidorus. Bayesian 50% majority rule consensus trees as inferred from cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (coxI) mtDNA gene sequence alignments under the GTR + I + G model. Posterior probabilities more than 0.70 are given for appropriate clades. Newly obtained sequences in this study are in bold letters.
