Fig. 2

Mean rate evolution of dental adaptations for folivory at each time interval across the tree of Lemuriformes. Solid line indicates the mean rates at each bin of one-million-year duration. Dotted line with grey ribbon indicates LOWESS smoothed trend in the empirical data. The ~ 10 Ma before present shows a uniformly high mean rate of evolution, likely reflecting a “Sadler effect” of apparently rapid evolution in extant branches [47, 83]
