Table 6. Estimates of time since divergence between northern and southern subsystem A. aequidens populations: Ln(likelihood) – posterior likelihood of the calibration method employed; estimated time since most recent common ancestor (tmrca - Ma), and estimated divergence rate (% per My).
Calibration Method | Ln(likelihood) | Tmrca (Ma) | Estimated divergence rate |
3.6% | −1456.221 | 1.574 (1.46–2.26) | - |
2 Ma | −1457.064 | 2.380 (1.5–4.37) | 2% |
1 Ma | −1457.064 | 0.867 (0.5–1.53) | 7% |
0.1 Ma | −1457.064 | 0.467 (0.25–0.72) | 11% |
