  1. Support dependency of the great ape and rodent parasites monophyly on assumptions of various probabilistic models of substitution (GTR nt , GTR aa and JTT: single matrix model, CAT: site heterogeneous mixture model, BP : time heterogeneous model). Rates across site model components are defined as + Γ4 + I under maximum-likelihood (ML) and as + Γ4 under Bayesian inference (BI) methods. PP: Posterior probability (BI), SH: Shimodaira-Hasegawa-like support (ML), and BS: bootstrap support (ML). "*": not applicable.
