Using the final alignment, GTR + Gamma + Proportion Invariant (GTR+G+I) model of DNA evolution was determined by the hierarchical likelihood ratio test implemented in MrModeltest [65] as the best model for the data.
The substitution model of DNA evolution was selected based on AIC using Modeltest ver. 3.06 [ 69].
A general time-reversible model (GTR [ 43]) of DNA evolution was used, with a gamma-shaped rate variation with a proportion of invariable sites.
For Bayesian and ML analyses, the most appropriate model of DNA evolution was selected using Akaike Information Criteria using ModelTest v 3.7 [ 34].
The Tamura-Nei [ 40] model of DNA evolution was used, with complete deletion and a homogeneous pattern of nucleotide substitution among lineages and uniform rates of nucleotide substitution across all sites.
On the other hand, to generate a compositionally heterogeneous region (i.e. from 0%to50%0% of the total length, respectively), DNA evolution was simulated with 80% GC-content for the external branches corresponding to the taxa u and x, and 20% GC-content for the two other external branches (i.e. taxa v and y).

The best fitting model of protein and DNA evolution were obtained based on the AIC Akaike Information Criterionn) using ProtTest 2.4 server [ 31] and jModelTest v. 2 [ 32], respectively.
Because the sequences differ in lengths and comprise regions of divergent variability, methods that take into account specific models of DNA evolution were considered as the most suitable for the construction of phylogenetic trees, ML and Bayesian (Markov chain Monte Carlo).
Although higher rates of mtDNA than nuclear DNA evolution are found in other taxa, especially vertebrates [ 16], the ratio of mtDNA to nuclear DNA rates of evolution in Tigriopus appears to be high when compared with other invertebrates and arthropods [ 10, 17, 18].
The optimal model of DNA sequence evolution was assessed with jModeltest 2.1.3 (Posada et al. 2012) using the Aikake Information Criterion (AIC) to estimate the model with the closest fit to the data.
