Median age estimates by node for each of the 16 single-calibrated analyses and the analysis using all 16 fossil calibrations (data in Table2), covering the tree root (far left) and the 16 calibrated nodes. A large range of ages is obtainable with the use of different calibration points. The multi-calibrated analysis (blue with circles) provides estimates that are intermediate in age for older nodes, and towards the younger end of the range for younger nodes (<10 Ma).
