Phylogenetic analyses of Eunicea spp. A. Most parsimonious phylogram using molecular morphometrics data [See additional file 2]. Numbers represent bootstrap values of 1,000 replicates/decay index (Bremer support). B. Maximum Likelihood phylogram of the primary ITS2 alignment with the assumed model (TVMef+G) selected by AIC; tree searches had six substitution rates (A-C, 1.2431; A-G, 3.0064; A-T, 1.0809; C-G, 0.3376; C-T, 3.0064; and G-T, 1.0000), an assumed proportion of invariant sites (= 0), and a gamma-shape parameter (1.4130). Bayesian probabilities and bootstrap values of 1,000 replicates are separated by a slash. C. Hypothetical Bayesian analysis phylogeny based on the combined predicted secondary structure and secondary sequence alignment data (e.g. including secondary structure partitions) of the ITS2 region. Inset photo: Eunicea flexuosa (Lamouroux, 1821) comb. nov., San Salvador, Bahamas, 12 m (1999).
