  1. The absolute rate of diversification have been estimated for clades A - J in absence of extinction (ϵ = 0), intermediate (ϵ = 0.5) and comparatively high (ϵ = 0.90) relative extinction rate. Principle nesting types and habitat preference are indicated by symbols. Nest type symbols; EV = exposed vegetative, C = cavity, and MN = mud nest. Habitat symbols; X = xeric (open and bushy habitats), and F = forest. Symbols placed between parenthesis indicate that occasional member within the clade build this type of nest or occupy this type of habitat. Diversification rates for larger sub-clades nested within the synallaxines (clade A) are given in lower case and normal font.
