*** Example diagram

This diagram represents phylogenetic mosaicism within the taxon.

Generally each taxon has one, or more, overall phylogenetic nearest neighbours, listed on the left. However, some segments of the taxon may be phylogenetically closer to segments of other taxa, which may not even be in the same family. Each of these phylogenetic anomalies, or instances of phylogenetic mosiacism, are illustrated in the diagram.

The block on the left of the diagram represents the taxon in question. Where a segment of the taxon has a nearest neighbour which differs from the taxon as a whole, the lines show the segments, linked to this affiliated taxon on the right.

Click on an affiliated taxon to show its affiliations.
*** Hold the mouse over an affiliation to show the details of the analysis.

Taxa are colour-coded according to their family (the alignment file they originate from).
Black lines indicate segments of this taxon whose nearest neighbour is not the taxon's overall nearest neighbour.
Red lines indicate where a segment of this taxon is the nearest neighbour of the segment of another taxon, but this taxon is not the overall nearest neighbour.
