Appendix 9 in A new bat species of the genus Myotis with comments on the phylogenetic placement of M. keaysi and M. pilosatibialis

Appendix 9. Molecular synapomorphies of Myotis armiensis sp. n., as revealed by maximum-parsimony (MP) analysis of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A (STAT5A, n = 414 bp). Molecular transformations were optimized on a 50 % majority-rule consensus tree of the most parsimonious tree (134 steps; [CI] = 0.754) resulting from the MP analysis of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A. 23 fixed derived characters states were found in the newly identified lineage. Of these, 9, which are indicated by asterisk, has not evolved independently in any other species of New World Myotis. The remaininghave appeared secondarily in at least one species of New World Myotis.
