  1. Significant p values are in bold. Italic values indicate that the negative rank sum was larger than the positive rank sum and thus the strategy is overall detrimental to this set of nodes given the used approach (PABA4, PABA3, PABA2, PBS, NDI, PABSA3, PABSA2, or LILD). Furthermore, the change in the mean disagreement of the morphological partition to all other partitions at these nodes is also shown (Table 1). S1 = code adult morphology of paedomorphic taxa as unknown; S2 = exclude paedomorphic character traits; S12 = combination of S1 and S2.
