and San Ignacio de Huinay Foundations and Consejo Superior de Investiga Consensus phylogram (50 % majority rule) of 2 394 trees resulting from a Bayesian analysis of the LSU sequence alignment (58 taxa including outgroup;
874 aligned positions; 507 unique site patterns) using MrBayes v. 3.2.6 (Ronquist et al. 2012). Bayesian posterior probabilities (PP) are shown at the nodes
and thickened lines represent nodes with PP = 1.00. The scale bar represents the expected changes per site. Families, orders and classes are indicated with
coloured blocks to the right of the tree. GenBank accession or Fungal Planet numbers are indicated behind the species names. The tree was rooted to Saccharomyces
cerevisiae (GenBank Z73326) and the taxonomic novelties described in this study for which LSU sequence data were available are indicated in
bold face. The alignment and tree were deposited in TreeBASE (Submission ID S20202). |
