Maximum parsimony and Bayesian (using the BayesTraits program) ancestral reconstructions of the three biological features examined in this study. Ancestral posterior probabilities were obtained by multiplying the mean ancestral character state probability of the selected node across all trees by the portion of the trees that recovered the node involved. Numbers on the first column correspond to selected clades that are indicated in the 28S + COI Bayesian topology (see Figures 4 and 5).
