Figure 3. Average number of parsimony steps for different classes of characters.

Figure 3

The morphological characters (in black) change state more quickly than even the fastest classes of DNA sequence characters. mt1 = COI first codon position; mt2 = COI second codon position; mt3 = COI third codon position; n1 = combined nuclear genes first codon position; n2 = combined nuclear genes second codon position; n3 = combined nuclear genes third codon position; 28S = 28S nuclear ribosomal gene; Color = combined color characters; Morph = combined morphometric characters; Sculpt = combined sculptural characters.
