Figure 4

Credibility intervals (95% highest posterior density) for the crown ages of the six most species-rich genera. The blue bars depict the age estimates when using the Yule prior, and the green ones show the age estimates obtained with the birth-death prior, shown for the five dating analyses using most fossil calibration points. Analyses with the Yule prior indicate a Paleogene origin, while analyses with the birth-death prior indicate a Neogene origin. Absolute ages are in million years. Q, Quaternary.
