 | | A large morphological data set and two unlinked molecular data sets, the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and the nuclear interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein (exon 1), are analyzed with various optimality criteria and weighting mechanisms in order to determine the phylogenetic relationships among slow lorises (Primates, Loridae). |
 | | Both molecular data sets resolve the Loridae as paraphyletic, though with different branching order depending on optimality criterion and/or character weighting employed. |
 | | When the three data partitions are analyzed in various combinations, an inverse relationship between congruence and phylogenetic accuracy is observed. |
