Figure 2

The lineage-through-time (LTT) plot of CA Heroine diversification. The black dots represent actual numbers of Heroine lineages estimated at a given time frame from the reconstructed phylogeny. The grey lines form an ellipse of simulated pure-birth phylogenies of 90 species used to compare to the CA Heroines. The dotted lines represent the 95% confidence interval of the number of lineages expected from the simulated pure-birth phylogenies. The CA Heroine LTT lies within the 95% null distribution expected for a radiation diversifying via a pure-birth process.
