From: Ancestral state reconstruction reveals multiple independent evolution of diagnostic morphological characters in the "Higher Oribatida" (Acari), conflicting with current classification schemes

Figure 3

Ancestral state reconstructions for the Circumdehiscentiae based on parsimony (left cladogram) and likelihood (right cladogram) of (A) scalps in nymphs, (B) centrodorsal setae in nymphs, (C) porose organs (two-stated character coding), and (D) the different types of porose organs found in oribatid mites. Light micrographs with differential interference contrast showing one porose area of Trichoribates trimaculatus, one saccule type1 of Achipteria coleoptrata and one saccule type2 of Scutovertex pannonicus (from left to right). Scale bars: 10 μm. *Sequence data of taxon obtained from GenBank.
