  1. Results of topology tests for the monophyly of currently accepted taxonomic groups (tribes and genera) and for groups based on reproductive strategy (insemination). Tribe composition tested prior hypotheses as shown in Table 1 [13, 19, 36], genera composition as listed by [2] and for insemination strategy as in Table 2. For each group, difference in maximum likelihood score (Δ lnL) between a tree with this clade enforced with respect to the maximum likelihood tree (Figs. 310) is followed by p-values for three testing procedures
