Fig 3. Summary phylogeny. A summary phylogeny inferred by comparing the mitochondrial and autosomal gene trees depicted in Figs 1 and 2. New and resurrected species described here are in red. S, A, L, and M refer to subgenus Silurana, and the amieti, laevis, and muelleri species groups within subgenus Xenopus respectively. Dotted lines indicate paternal ancestral lineages. Circles over internal nodes indicate allopolyploidization events; shapes on branch tips indicate ploidy of extant species; colored next to these shapes circles indicate call type inferred from this study and Tobias et al. [42]. Letters over red dots refer to ancestors whose homeologous lineages are labled in Fig 2. Daggers indicate lost ancestors, including up to three diploid species (assuming allotetraploidization in subgenus Xenopus) and at least three tetraploid ancestors (A, B, and C).
