Figure 2

Detailed Subtrees for Dictyostelid Major Groups 1-4. The large 18S rDNA subtrees from the Figure 1 are shown in detail for dictyostelid major groups 1-4 (parts A-D). The names in bold correspond to the new species sequenced for this study. Major clades are indicated to the right of the figures with brackets and numerical clade designations as defined in [17]. For Group 1 (A) note that the branch to D. multistipes has been reduced in length for this figure. The actual length of the branch can be seen in Figure 1. For B) note that the species listed originally as P. nandutensiswas finally published as P. arachnoideum.
