Table 2. BEAST divergence date estimation for two hypothetical mtDNA rates of evolution.

Groups are denoted as: h  =  the hentzi species clade; hCR  =  all specimens within the CRB and everything to the north; hCRN  =  all specimens north of the Colorado River; hN  =  every specimen north of the CRB (but not including the CRB).
