Tree topology comparison
Three aspects of typhlocybine phylogeny that have been previously inferred controversial were tested under a likelihood theory framework: a, the sister-group relationship (Cicadellinae, Typhlocybinae); b, the sister-group relationship (Typhlocybini, Zyginellini); c, ((Empoascini, Alebrini), (Typhlocybini, (Erythroneurini, Dikraneurini))). Approximately unbiased (AU) (Shimodaira, 2002), bootstrap proportion (BP) (Kishino et al., 1990), expected likelihood weight (ELW) (Strimmer, 2002), Kishino-Hasegawa (KH) test (Kishino, 1989), Shimodaira-Hasegawa (SH) (Shimodaira & Hasegawa, 1999), Weighted KH (WKH) and weighted SH (WSH) tests were performed in IQ-TREE v.1.6.3 with the options: -au, -zb and -zw. The number of RELL replicates was specified as 10,000. Probability values (p -value) of the AU test smaller than 0.05 indicate that the hypothesis was rejected.
