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).
