Gene genealogy for msh1. Bootstrap values for 100 and 1000 replicates in maximum likelihood and neighbor joining analyses are shown. Similar topologies and bootstrap values were recovered using maximum parsimony but not shown. Muricea muricata was used as an outgroup. In grey are colonies sampled in shallow areas and in black colonies in deep areas. The genealogy divided the individuals in two clades, which are highly indicative of the habitat origin (shallow or deep). In one clade (bottom) most of the colonies (62) are from deep areas (black), however 9 colonies (grey) fall within this clade. These 9 colonies had a different morphology despite living in the same habitat. The same pattern was observed for the top clade.
