Abbreviation: Myr, million years.

The least biased estimate is indicated in bold (see discussion).

a

Age estimation assuming that the species diverged 17.7 Myr ago (Tamura et al., 2004).

b

Age estimation assuming that D. subobscura and D. pseudoobscura diverged 8 Myr ago (Ramos-Onsins et al., 1998).

c

Individuals from both populations combined.
