Table 7. Chrysochlorid root positions depending on optimality criterion, model selection criteria, inclusion of morphological data, tenrecids and fossils. The column ‘Optimality’ shows results using equally weighted parsimony (eq), implied weighting with concavity constants of two (K 2) and four (K 4). The column ‘Tenrecs’ refers to the number of excluded tenrecs, either all (excluded) or all but Echinops and Microgale talazaci (Echinops-Mtal). ‘Root pp’ refers to the posterior probability of the first branching event within crown Chrysochloridae (if resolved and applicable only to Bayesian analyses). Asia = Chrysochloris asiatica, crypto = Cryptochloris, Eremi = Eremitalpa, Kili = Kilimatalpa, MPTs = Most Parsimonious Trees.
