Table 2.

Data characteristics and estimated evolutionary parameters from phylogenetic analyses. (The number and resolution of trees, tree length (MP); CI (ensemble consistency index), and RI (ensemble retention index) values are derived from equally weighted parsimony analysis of the data. The tree length (BI), and parameters πi, rij, piv, α, and c are derived from simultaneous Bayesian analysis of the partitioned (RAG-1 and RAG-2) and unpartitioned (combined) data (see Electronic Appendix).)
