Table 3. Log likelihoods and P in Reconstruction of Evolutionary History of Pleurostomatid Ciliates (Ciliophora, Litostomatea, Haptoria): Interplay of Morphology and Molecules

Table 3. Log likelihoods and P -values of AU (approximately unbiased), WSH (weighted Shimodaira-Hasegawa), and WKH (weighted Kishino-Hasegawa) tests for tree comparisons considering different topological scenarios. Significant differences (P -value <0.05) between the best unconstrained and constrained topologies are in bold.
