Fig. 3

The distribution of Parsimony Informative Characters (PICs) for the three taxon groupings (a = Araneae, b = Euctenizidae, c = Aphonopelma) and their Anchored Hybrid Enrichment (AHE) loci. The zero position is the center of the anchor sequence for all loci. Colored dots indicate how many total loci had at least one PIC at that nucleotide position (left y-axis). Grey dots indicate the distribution of locus length by plotting the number of loci (right y-axis) with any nucleotide at that position. The figures are plotted on the same y-axis scale to more easily compare the levels of variation across the taxonomic scales
