Figure 3

Ancestral state representation of six life-history traits reconstructed for 35 Leptodactylinae species using stochastic inferences. Pie charts indicate the probability of each character state. Clade numbers are indicated at the nodes (inside squares) of the Bayesian cladogram (Figure 2). Only the ancestral state probability of the clades in the 50% majority-rule consensus cladogram reconstructed using Bayesian analysis are indicated here. See Additional file 2 for the probability of each character state in each possible clade, as pointed out by the Bayesian analysis. A: Adenomera genus; B: Leptodactylus fuscus group; C: L. pentadactylus group; D: L. melanonotus group; and E: L. latrans group.
