Contractions of NLRC3 (NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 3) and two protocadherins (PCDA2: protocadherin alpha-2; PCDGB: protocadherin gamma-A11) in L. dimidiatus. Phylogenetic trees of NLRC3 (A), PCDA2 (B) and PCDGB (C) were constructed by 100 bootstraps and rooting at the midpoint, the leaf nodes with back, grey and light grey square mean obligate cleaner, facultative cleaner and non-cleaner, and the number of each gene showed according to the order as dedicated (L. dimidiatus), facultative (T. bifasciatum, S. melops, T. adspersus, S. pulcher, L. bergylta) and non-cleaners (C. undulatus, N. celidotus). The bold branches indicate the internal nodes with bootstraps ≥ 80
