Fig. 1. Arthropod opsin gene phylogeny. The phylogeny is based upon a neighbor-joining analysis of first and second nucleotide positions using the Tamura–Nei model of evolution with a correction for heterogeneous patterns of evolution among lineages. A total of 631 nucleotide sites were used. Numbers at the junctions indicate bootstrap replicates out of 1000 (given as a percentage) in which a particular node is supported. Red indicates cloned Heliconius erato opsin cDNAs. GenBank accession numbers for the sequences used in the reconstruction are as follows. Chelicerates: Limulus polyphemus (lateral eye, L03781; ocelli, L03782). Crustaceans: Procambarus clarkii (S53494). Insects: Anopheles gambiae [accession no. is given as supplementary information in Hill et al. (Hill et al., 2002)]; Antheraea pernyi (AB073299); Apis mellifera (UV, AF004169; Blue, AF004168; LW, U26026); Bombyx mori (LWRh1, AB064496), Camponotus abdominalis (LW, U32502; SW, AF042788); Cataglyphis bombycinus (LW, U32501; SW, AF042787); Danaus plexippus (UVRh, AY605546; BlueRh, AY605545; LWRh, AY605544); Drosophila melanogaster (Rh1, K02315; Rh2, M12896; Rh3, M17718; Rh4, M17730; Rh5, U67905; Rh6, Z86118); Homalodisca coagulata (AY588065); Manduca sexta (Manop1, L78080; Manop2, L78081; Manop3, AD001674); Megoura viciae (UV, AF189715; LW AF189714); Papilio glaucus (PglRh1, AF077189; PglRh2, AF077190; PglRh3, AF067080; PglRh5, AF077191; PglRh6, AF077192); Oncometopia nigricans (AY725781); Pieris rapae (PrL, AB177984); Schistocerca gregaria (Lo1, X80071; Lo2, X80072); Sphodromantis spp. (X71665). Full-length nucleotide sequences for the Bombyx mori UV, blue and L opsin coding regions were obtained using a tBlastx search of GenBank whole genome sequences (wgs), manually removing the introns in MacClade, and then comparing the coding sequences with partial B. mori opsin cDNAs reported in (Shimizu et al., 1998). The bar indicates the number of substitutions/site.
