Aquamoth part 2

I came across the full-text PDF of the amphibious moth article and extracted the tree showing the radiation of this species group and probable evolution of the amphibious traits.  Interesting to note the case shape, and each moth is endemic to its own volcano in the Hawaiian archipelago.

This is a Bayesian analysis of a three gene phylogeny constructed with EF1-alpha, CAD and COI.  If anyone wants a copy of the paper, send me a note.  Pulled from: Rubinoff D., Schmitz P., Multiple aquatic invasions by an endemic, terrestrial, Hawaiian moth radiation. PNAS March 2010.
