From: Fragmented mitochondrial genomes of seal lice (family Echinophthiriidae) and gorilla louse (family Pthiridae): frequent minichromosomal splits and a host switch of lice between seals

Fig. 5

Inference of the ancestral mitochondrial karyotype of seal lice. Minichromosomal characters were inferred to be ancestral to seal lice if a character was present in: 1) one or more of the five species of seal lice and also in the MRCA of sucking lice; or 2) all the five species of seal lice. Gene names were described in Fig. 1 legend. Genes underlined have opposite transcription orientation to those not underlined
