Table 3.
Mean uncorrected pairwise distances and inferred ages of nodes on the Coccus chronogram (figure 3) obtained by non-parametric rate smoothing, based on a pairwise divergence rate of 1.5% Myr−1. (Fixed ages are indicated in italics.)
| node | mean pairwise distance (%) | age (node o fixed) | age (node b fixed) | age (node e fixed) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| o (out-group/L1–L6) | 14.2 | 9.47 | 7.86 | 7.84 |
| a (L6/L1–L5) | 15.4 | 8.78 | 7.28 | 7.27 |
| b (L5/L1–L4) | 7.9 | 6.35 | 5.27 | 5.26 |
| c (L3–L4/L1–L2) | 6.7 | 5.17 | 4.29 | 4.28 |
| d (L3/L4) | 5.6 | 4.91 | 4.07 | 4.06 |
| e (L1/L2) | 5.9 | 4.75 | 3.94 | 3.93 |
