From: Comparative analysis reveals the complex role of histoblast nest size in the evolution of novel insect abdominal appendages in Sepsidae (Diptera)

Fig. 8

Phylogeny of sampled species indicating the degree of sexual dimorphism in histoblast cell number. Color of the terminal nodes indicates the ratio of male to female cell counts in the 4th segment histoblast nest with cooler colors indicating sexually dimorphic species. The value of the male:female ratio is reported. Colored boxes indicate whether the species has abdominal appendages (green) or does not (red). Independent losses are indicated as L1 – L3
