Why? Evaluation / Assessment: Students will be evaluated based on completion of initial journal assignment, participation in class discussions, thorough completion of research and well-supported inferences about a particular artifact, and clearly-written captions describing their assigned artifact.
These relationships were well-supported in the probabilistic inferences.
The subsections Chlamydodorae, Platyphylla, and Caulocarpae form well-supported clades in the Bayesian inference (posterior probabilities > 99).
Bayesian inference indicated two well-supported, well-resolved monophyletic clades: one comprising K. ellobus, K. acaciae, and the K. rugosus complex, and the other comprising K. hamiltoni, K. harpophyllae, and the K. waterhousei, K. habrus and K. intermedius complexes.
Phylogenies often contain both well-supported and poorly supported nodes.
Interestingly, within the Anabaena clade, no distinct, well-supported McyC clade was inferred.
Within Juliflorae, A. stenophylla (Plurinerves) is a well-supported sister-species of A. xiphophylla in all inferences.
The consensus tree obtained from Bayesian inference clustered the haplotypes into two main well-supported clades (posterior probabilities of 1.0), corresponding to disjunct western (curvipennis, SMO) and eastern (pampa, YUC) groups on either side of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
Support varied for relationships within these well-supported clades.
In this inference, isolates S13 and M22 grouped together and formed a well-supported tight cluster with B. quintana and no other Bartonella spp. The phylogenetic distances between B. quintana, isolate S13, and isolate M22 were much shorter than those between, for example, Bartonella vinsonii subsp., supporting the classification of isolates S13 and M22 as strains of B. quintana.
