Fig. 1. The optimal tree obtained by analysis under weighting regimes that maximized fit and minimized length. This topology was retrieved by analyses with equal weights, successive weights, and implied weights under k = 3–6 (table 2). Zero­length branches are collapsed. This topology also corresponds to the majority rule (>50%) consensus of MPTs obtained by the eight analyses in which weighting regime and multistate character transformation were varied (table 2). Solid bars indicate uniquely derived apomorphic character states, whereas empty bars indicate parallel derivations of apomorphic states under ACCTRAN optimization. The number above each bar gives the character number, whereas the number below gives the character state. Branch­support values of nodes are provided below branches. Refer to appendix 2 for character descriptions.
