Figure 2

Bayesian dating of Fucaceae diversification. Simplified Bayesian dated phylogenetic reconstruction using the 13 coding loci. Node ages in million years (Myr) with their 95% HPD interval for both expansion growth (violet bars) and Yule speciation (cyan bars) models correspond to the time scale at the bottom of the Figure. Polytomies within species were collapsed for clarity, extracting the most divergent individuals (= leaf) from the Bayesian dating of Fucaceae diversification (for full tree see Additional file 4) Each paleogeographic reconstruction is placed at the estimated age (reproduced with permission of Dr. R. Blakey). Temperature graph shows paleoclimate reconstructions according to Zachos et al. ([40]; Paleocene to Miocene), Lisiecki et al. ([41]; Pliocene to Pleistocene) and Petit et al. ([39], Holocene) (reproduced with permission of Dr. R.A. Rohde). The ages and their correlation to the names on the geological timescale are based on Gradstein et al. [91]. Recent history of the Bering Strait is shown with the estimated and hypothesized openings [18, 20].
