Figure 6.

(A) Mean and (B) SD of the posterior distributions for the evaluated taxonomic compositions.

Notes: Numbers on the horizontal axis identify either the number of new taxon terminals between the calibration node and nodes S1 and S2 or the number of new taxon terminals after nodes D1 and D2. Red line with circles: node S1 for balanced trees; red line with triangles: node S1 for unbalanced trees; black line with circles: node S2 for balanced trees; black line with triangles: node S2 for unbalanced trees; blue line with circles: node D1 for balanced trees; blue line with triangles: node D1 for unbalanced trees; green line with circles: node D2 for balanced trees; green line with triangles: node D2 for unbalanced trees. Dashed lines indicate the mean and SD under the full data set.
