Figure 1 in Molecular evolutionary trends and biosynthesis pathways in the Oribatida revealed by the genome of Archegozetes longisetosus

Figure 1 The mite, Archegozetes longisetosus, in its phylogenetic and natural environment. a – Species tree of selected oribatid mites of the family Trhypochthoniidae based on phylogenetic analyses and divergence time estimates (Heethoff et al., 2011b). b – Two adults and one tritonymph of Archegozeteson a piece of leaf litter. The algae growing on the leaf serves as a food source for the mites. c – Habitus of an adult mite based on a surface rendering of a µCT-scan reconstruction.

The corrected contacts are indicated by the color scale on the right from red (high density) to blue (low density)
