From: Four myriapod relatives – but who are sisters? No end to debates on relationships among the four major myriapod subgroups

Hypotheses on relationships of the major myriapod lineages Chilopoda, Diplopoda, Symphyla and Pauropoda. Quartet topology A (in blue): Pauropoda+Symphyla and Chilopoda+Diplopoda. The column displays all trees that can be derived from this quartet topology by different internal rooting. *: best ML tree of our study. Quartet topology B (in red): Chilopoda+Symphyla and Diplopoda+Pauropoda. The column displays all trees that can be derived from this quartet topology by different internal rooting. **: Main ML tree inferred by Fernandez and co-authors [2] and preferred morphological tree. Quartet topology c (in grey): Diplopoda+Symphyla and Chilopoda+Pauropoda. The column displays all trees that can be derived from this quartet topology by different internal rooting, yet none of them is supported by any study
