Are the subgenera of Lasius monophyletic?55 taxa, 11 Sanger lociMRBAYES 3.2.6, IQ-TREEBayesian: Bayesian tree inference, stepping stone ML; maximum likelihood bootstrap, concordance factor3. What are the relationships of fossil Formicinae?154 taxa: 11 Sanger loci for 135 extant taxa, and 110 binary morphological characters for 136 extant and 18 extinct taxaMRBAYES 3.2.6Tree search: (clock vs nonclock; morphology-only vs combined data)Evolutionary history4. Under what palaeoclimatological conditions and where biogeographically did the Lasiini and its internal clades originate?135 extant taxon, 11 Sanger loci chronogram trimmed from 154 taxon tree generated in Question 3BIOGEOBEARSBIOGEOBEARS: several models (with and without +J)5. What was the evolutionary sequence of transformation for taxonomically important characters and life-history traits?135 taxon chronogram from Question 4, 5 binary morphological characters and 1 ternary morphological character; 21 taxon chronogram trimmed from Question 3, 2 binary life-history traitsR (ape)ace with ER (equal rates) versusTaxonomy6.
