Flow chart of seven different gene shopping schemes for divergence time estimation of the reduced set of 48 taxa. 5,024 UCE locus were aligned from the 48 taxon dataset. To minimize impacts of missing data, we focused on the 100% and 95% complete matrix (greater than 95% of taxa present for each UCE locus). From the 95% complete matrix, we added in two locus-selection schemes, and three partition-selection schemes. For locus selection, we used SortaDate [32] to get 69 (to match the number of loci in the 100% complete matrix) most clock-like (95%-loci-clocklike) and most tree-like (95%-loci-treelike) loci respectively. For partition selection, we used PartitionFinder 32] and SortaDate [40] to get the largest (95%-PF-largest), the most clock-like (95%-PF-clocklike) and the most tree-like (95%-PF-treelike) partition respectively
