Fig. 1

Volvox and volvocine algae. Simplified cladogram of selected volvocine species from representative genera shown in cartoon form with successive cellular and developmental innovations indicated by bulleted descriptions above or below the node in which they arose. Volvocine algal cells are polarized with an apical pair of flagella just above the nucleus and a single large chloroplast located basally. Species with published sequenced genomes have names in tan boxes. Light grey shading depicts extra cellular matrix (ECM) that occupies increasing amounts of spheroid volume in successive genera. Estimated divergence times at each node are based on data in [6]. This figure was adapted from [92] and reproduced here under Creative Commons Licence CC BY 4.0
