Bayesian analysis of concatenated mtDNA. Bayesian analysis of the concatenated dataset (COI+16S rRNA+16S-ND2+ ND3-ND6, 2263 bp, n = 129) performed with BEAST. Each node in the tree is labeled with its Maximum Likelihood boostrap (left) and Bayesian posterior probabilities (right) if it is greater than 50% or 0.5 respectively. The blue bars represent the 95% HPD interval for the divergence time estimates, which is only available for nodes with posterior probability <0.5. The red points represent the calibration node. The arrow indicates the position of the type species of the family, Corallium rubrum. Sampling localities are abbreviated as ALA: Alaska, ANT: Antarctica, BAH: Bahamas, CA: California, FL: Florida, GM: Gulf of Mexico, HI: Hawaii, JAP: Japan, NC: New Caledonia, NZ: New Zealand, PAL: Palau, TAS: Tasmania, TWA: Taiwan. Figures included, A. Sclerites of C. laauense, B. Axis of C. laauense, C. Autozooid polyps of C. niobe, D. Holotype colony of C. imperiale showing axis with typical tunnels and the commensal polychaets. E. Colony of C. abyssale showing typical cylindrical autozooids, F-G Colony and axis of C. japonicum, H. Colony of C. rubrum, I. Colony of C. kishinouyei, J. Colony of, K. Colony of P. tortuosum, L. Colony of C. konojoi, M. Axis and sclerites of C. konojoi. Misidentifications in the original material are presented in parentheses.
