You are studying the phylogeography of a small blue butterfly (Leptotes parrhasioides) within the Galapagos Islands and find slightly different morphotypes on three islands

You are studying the phylogeography of a small blue butterfly (Leptotes parrhasioides) within the Galapagos Islands and find slightly different morphotypes on three islands - A) Isabela, B) Fermandina and C) Santa Cruz. To estimate how much gene flow occurs among the islands, you sequence a mitochondrial gene from 5 individuals from each island (15 total). Draw what the expected phylogeny would look like if there were (i) no gene flow among the islands, (ii) considerable gene flow among the islands. Label each of the branch tips with A, B, or C to represent individuals from each of the 3 islands (hint-you should have two contrasting phylogenies each with 15 individuals (branch tips]). (15)
