Summary of the results of analyses based on each dataset. Reconstructed clades with supporting values (maximum-likelihood bootstrap/Bayesian posterior probability) in each dataset are listed. Supporting values lower than 50 % (bootstrap values) or 0.90 (posterior probability) are considered as nonsignificant and indicated by dashes. Dark highlighted clades are supported only in Bayesian tree of short-sequence datasets, 18S (50 OTU), 18S (65 OTU), and 18S (63 OTU), thus these clades are not regarded as actual clades
