FIGURE 1.
Maximum likelihood tree (see text for details) with statistical support values showed on nodes. Asterisks designate nodes with pp ≥ 0.95 (from Bayesian inference, shown as percentages) and bootstrap (maximum likelihood) ≥ 90. Nodes without values had pp ≤0.90 and bootstrap ≤70. Species names on tree reflect the nomenclatural changes proposed herein, with older names for the affected taxa as follows: 1 = Megaerops wetmorei, 2 = Epomops dobsonii, 3 = Micropteropus pusillus, 4 = Melonycteris woodfordi, 5 = Melonycteris fardoulisi.
FIGURE 2.
Dated tree with genera represented by more than one species in the analysis collapsed. Circles designate nodes that were used in the calibration of the molecular clock. Scale in million years ago.
