Appendix 10 in A new bat species of the genus Myotis with comments on the phylogenetic placement of M. keaysi and M. pilosatibialis

Appendix 10. Molecular synapomorphies of Myotis armiensis sp. n., as revealed by maximum-parsimony (MP) analysis of thyrotropin (THY, n = 475 bp). Molecular transformations were optimized on a 50 % majority-rule consensus tree of the most parsimonious tree (138 steps; [CI] = 0.906) resulting from the MP analysis of thyrotropin. 7 fixed derived characters states were found in the newly identified lineage. Of these, 6, which are indicated by asterisk, have not evolved independently in any other species of New World Myotis. Only one has appeared secondarily in at least one species of New World Myotis.
