Male-Killing Bacteria in Insects: Mechanisms, Incidence, and Implications
Figure

Figure. Phylogenetic relationship of male-killers and a selection of other eubacteria inferred from 16S rDNA sequences, using maximum likelihood implemented on PAUP*. The male-killing bacteria (underlined) have been labeled with the name of their insect host if a species name is not available. The relationships of the major bacterial groups are uncertain.
