A well supported result from this study, differing from morphology, is the phylogenetic position of the tribe Diaphini within Lampanyctinae, resolved as sister tribe to the other lampanyctines.
If the top hit was not supported in this fashion but a different BLAST result was, then the latter "not top hit, supported" result was retained instead.
Long branch attraction tends to be indicative of homoplasious substitutions or possible elevated substitution rates, and may be responsible for the weakly supported result with O. sativa.
Each statistically supported result (correlation or no correlation between the feature and the outcome) was included and considered as a proven individual observation.
A surprising, but strongly supported result from the mt-genome analysis was that Pleoidea is not part of Nepomorpha, but rather the sister group of the clade including Nepomorpha, Leptopodomorpha, Cimicomorpha, and Pentatomomorpha.
Given that the clades of the BI tree, based on the two first codon positions of COI, appeared to not be statistically supported (result not shown), we applied COI third-positions rates only when estimating divergence times (4 to 6.86% per Myr).
