Variation in haploid genome size associated with the ecological transition from surface water to groundwater in 47 species, including isopods (top) and decapods and gastropods (bottom). The 18 independent pairs of surface and subterranean species are delimited with boxes. Legends as in Figure 1. Identical species names followed by locality names within brackets refer to cryptic species (Morvan et al. 2013).
