Node numbers correspond to those indicated in Figure 2 and 3

a genes are ranked by the total number of congruent branches in the combined topologies

b there are 9 nodes in total indicated in the mt genome tree (Figure 3) and 8 nodes in the combined nuclear gene tree (Figure 2)

* branches with PP > 0.95 congruent in the combined topology

# branches with PP < 0.95 congruent in the combined topology
