a

ML tree estimation was performed with the combined data set by using the topological constraints indicated and the GTR+Γ substitution model. 

b

For an explanation of the taxon abbreviations see Table 5

c

Likelihood difference compared to the optimal ML tree. 

d

Probability of getting a more extreme test statistic under the assumption of no difference between the null hypothesis and the optimal ML tree according to the KH test (25) as implemented in PAUP* (38). Values less than 0.05 are indicated by boldface type. 

e

NA, not applicable.
