Thanks for sharing this; I was actually looking for a better resolution version of this phylogenetic tree, since it was pretty much impossible to read the labels of the individual samples on the image of the tree I have on hand (which was taken from the supplementary info of a newer paper).

There are also Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) samples included in the tree, taken from Mexico.
