Phylogenetic tree based on SSU rRNA gene sequences, showing the position of Euplotes amieti (arrow) by Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI). Numbers near branches denote ML bootstrap value/BI posterior probability value. ‘–’ indicates topolo- gies that differ between the ML and BI phylogenies. Fully supported (100%/1.00) branches are marked with solid circles. All branches are drawn to scale. The scale bar corresponds to 5 substitutions per 100 nucleotide positions. GenBank accession numbers are given for each species. Systematic classification is mainly according to Lynn (2008). Euplotid clades I–VI were designated according to Yi et al. (2009).	Fig. 5.
