Note: l is the log likelihood; LRT is a likelihood ratio test, which is twice the log likelihood difference (2Δl) between null models (M1a and M7) and their alternative models (M2a and M8): M1a/M2a = 2.7 (χ2 significant value: P < 0.3); M7/M8 = 5.16 (0.05 < P < 0.1). Positively selected sites identified by the BEB method under M2a and M8 with posterior probabilities (p) > 0.6 are shown, in which those with p > 0.95 are indicated by bold and *.
