Time-calibrated phylogeny and ancestral range estimates for the subfamily Formicinae. Maximum clade credibility tree summarized from 48000 trees as estimated with the UCE-100best data set under a relaxed-clock model with nine fossil calibrations. Blue bars show the 95 % highest posterior density range for each node. Node numbers refer to Table 2 and Additional file 11. Ancestral ranges estimated by S-DEC are mapped on MRCA nodes for each tribe and genus (regardless of the level of support) and all other nodes that received high support (>70) for reconstructions. T = Neotropical, N = Nearctic, P = Palearctic, E = Afrotropical, O = Indomalayan and A = Australasian
