Figure 5

Credibility intervals (95% highest posterior density) for the ages of the six deepest nodes. 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. The numbers associated to each clade correspond to the numbers on the phylogeny. Analyses with the Yule prior consistently indicate older ages. Absolute ages are in million years. The last geological period, the Quaternary, is missing.
