Phylogeny of edwardsiid 18S sequences. Maximum likelihood phylogeny of 18S rDNA sequences from 6 edwardsiid anemones and one outgroup taxon, the frilled anemone, Metridium senile. Genbank accession numbers are: Edwardsiella lineata: (1) this study: KF155691; (2) Daly et al. (2002): AF254378 [33]; (3) voucher SMNH 105142: FJ899707 [18]; (4) voucher SMNH 105141: FJ913836 [18]; Edwardsia elegans: AF254376 [33]; Edwardsia japonica: GU473304 [34]; Edwardsia timida: GU473315 [34]; Edwardsianthus gilbertensis: EU190859 [35]; Metridium senile: AF052889 [36]; Nematostella vectensis: AF254382 [18]. The length of horizontal branches is proportional to the amount of evolutionary change that is inferred to have occurred along that branch; the scale bar at the lower left indicates the number of substitutions per site. Numbers at nodes indicate support for the given clade in 1000 replicates of the bootstrap.
