a

lnL represents the natural log likelihood of the global-clock (M1) and no-clock (M0) models calculated in PAML under the Hasegawa-Kishino-Yano nucleotide substitution model.

b

The molecular clock is rejected when P is <0.05 under the LRT.

c

The BMCMC TMRCA refers to the TMRCAs estimated with BEAST under the assumption of a molecular clock. TMRCAs estimated based on the corresponding approaches are presented as the best fit (for LR and ML) or mean (for BMCMC) value, with the 95% CI (for LR and ML) or high-probability density (for BMCMC) in parentheses. NA, not applicable.
