Branches with posterior probabilities <85% have been collapsed. Nodal support is posterior probability/bootstrap (Neighbour-joining using Maximum Likelihood distance, 10 000 reps). Details of taxa and methods in Taylor et al., 2005.";

Branches collapsed with posterior probabilities of> 90%. Nodal support is posterior probability/bootstrap (NJ using ML distance, 10 000 reps). *Bootstrap support is 96% for lucinid clade B excluding Phacoides pectinatus.";
