Table 2 MRPP results for pairwise species comparisons using clades defined from molecular data or extended clades including terminals binned to each molecular clade with support by ML and MP weighting. Chance-corrected within-group agreement (A) describes within-group homogeneity, compared to the random expectation. When all items are identical within groups A = 1 (the highest possible value for A). If heterogeneity within groups equals expectation by chance, then A = 0. If there is less agreement within groups than expected by chance, then A < 0 (McCune et al. 2002)
