  1. Most comparisons were selected by following the mentioned references (Ref.). Results from character-by-character analyses performed using a reduced dataset are given in italics, and P-values remaining statistically significant (at P < 0.05) after Holm's sequential Bonferroni correction are given in bold. See Additional file 5 for detailed results.
