From: Utility of characters evolving at diverse rates of evolution to resolve quartet trees with unequal branch lengths: analytical predictions of long-branch effects

Figure 6

The predicted utility Π − Max(x 1, x 2) versus substitution rate λ is plotted based on the JC [63] model (solid line), the K2P (dotted line), the HKY (dashed line), and the GTR model (dot-dashed line), for the four-taxon tree as depicted in Figure 1 in which t 0 = 0.1, T 1 = T 2 = T 3 = T 4 = 0.25, λ 1 = λ 3 = 1, and λ 0 = λ 2 = λ 4 = λ. The model parameter values are presented in Table 1.
