Fig 6. Overview of all removal experiments with major effects as detected with HET.

For all affected nodes the bootstrap (BS) support in the consensus AFLP topology as well as BS support after the influential removals is shown and removed taxa are specified. Node IDs correspond to those in the nc NJ-consensus phylogeny (Fig 3). Single effects were grouped according to four major effects and are represented by different colours. Potentially artificial BS increases due to ‘support carryover’ (see methods) are highlighted with red frames.
