From: Origin and diversification of living cycads: a cautionary tale on the impact of the branching process prior in Bayesian molecular dating

Figure 3

Time-calibrated phylogeny of Cycadales obtained with the six fossil calibrations. Timetree obtained with Yule (a) or the birth-death (b) model as branching process prior. Each tree is the maximum clade credibility tree with median ages from the Bayesian analyses. The coloured dots highlight nodes on which fossil age constraints were applied. Values are median age estimates for the main nodes, in million years. C, Carboniferous; P, Permian; T, Triassic; J, Jurassic; K, Cretaceous; Pg, Paleogene; N, Neogene. The last geological period, the Quaternary, is missing.
