Model | MLE | Rank | BF |
|---|---|---|---|
A - current taxonomy | − 572.42 | 5 | N/A |
B - splits M. dilatata and M. cf. turgescens samples into different species | −318.88 | 2 | −507.1 |
C - M. dilatata complex as a single species | − 721.67 | 5 | 298.5 |
D - groups M. capitata by colour morphs (Yellow/orange; Red) | − 288.39 | 1 | − 568.1 |
E - Lumps M. dilatata into a single species; splits all remaining samples of the complex as different species | −338.36 | 4 | − 468.1 |
F - Groups M. dilatata and M. flabellata into a single species; splits M. cf. turgescens | −328.74 | 3 | − 487.4 |
