Table 2. Results of tree topology tests. P-EW signifies parsimony under equal weights, whilst P-IW denotes parsimony under implicated weights, ML indicates maximum likelihood, and BI indicates Bayesian inference for each topology. Parsimony-based tests: Templeton and winning-sites were performed on the PAUP ver. 4.0a software (Swofford & Bell 2017). Likelihood-based topology tests: weighted Kishino-Hasegawa test (W-KH), weighted Shimodaira-Hasegawa test (W-SH), and Shimodaira’s approximately unbiased test (AU) were performed on IQTree 2 software (Minh et al. 2020). Grey color denotes p-value> 0.05 (statical significance). ‘best’ means that the tree was the best tree for a given optimality criterion.
