Table 4 Posterior date distributions for model parameters. The calibration refers to the node, model number (in parentheses), calibration age (in Ma). The node refers to either Ascomycota (A) or Basidiomycota (B). The prior refers to the tree process prior, either uniform or birth-death. The clock model refers to the relaxed clock model, either lognormal autocorrelated (LN) or uncorrelated gamma (ugam). The model ID column refers to the model number as delineated in Table 1. The posterior mean age estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are in Ma as calculated in the output of each PhyloBayes model. The expected age ranges (Ma) are listed based on literature values (user priors) as noted in Table 2. The Outside Expected (OE) column lists the percent of the 95% CI outside of the expected range
