Figure 2. See Table 2 for details. The optimal tree retrieved by analyses with equal weights and implied weights under k = 3–6 (Table 2). This topology corresponds to the majority rule (> 50%) consensus of most parsimonious trees (MPTs) obtained by seven analyses in which weighting regime was varied; frequency percentages for nodes that collapsed in the strict consensus of the MPTs obtained by the seven analyses are indicated to the right of relevant nodes. Zero-length branches are collapsed. Solid bars indicate uniquely derived apomorphic character states, whereas empty bars indicate parallel derivations of apomorphic states under accelerated transformation (ACCTRAN) optimization. The number above each bar gives the character number, whereas the number below gives the character state. Branch support values are circled at nodes. Refer to Appendix for character descriptions. The East African species are indicated with asterisks. Alternative topologies for nodes A and B shown in Figures 3 and 4 respectively.
