Table 4.

Marginal likelihoods and their Monte Carlo error as well as the test statistic 2 × ln BF for several taxonomic hypotheses, tested separately for each marker. The compared hypotheses (unconstrained vs. alternative) are arranged in rows. 2 × ln BFunconstrained vs. aiternative < −10 is regarded as strong support against the alternative hypothesis.
