Crickets have colonized each island in the Hawaiian Archipelago. Geological data indicates that Kauai is the oldest island in the chain and Hawaii is the youngest. Researchers hypothesized that crickets sequentially colonized islands as they rose out of the ocean and created a cladogram based on molecular relationships to test this idea.  3) Which islands unambiguously show multiple independent colonization events?  4) How many colonization events were there on each of the islands showing multiple events?
