Phylogenetic signal
In phylogenetic signal detection, magnitude and significance of
phylogenetic signal detection for morphological attributes varied across
two datasets. Both λ and K indexes for all morphological attributes were
below one, some of which were approaching to zero (LSD:
λear< 0.001, p> 0.999;
λhindfoot-rat< 0.001, p> 0.999.
RED: λear-rat< 0.001, p> 0.999)
(Table S2). In general, phylogenetic signals in regional dataset (RED)
were more significant than that in local dataset (LSD) (Table S2).
