Figure 4. Lineage-Through-Time (LTT) plot of Hyalospheniidae.

Figure 4

Lineage-Through-Time (LTT) was plotted using 100 trees of the Hyalospheniidae from the COI dataset analyses. The number of lineages (x axis) is plotted against time (y axis) in such way that each increase on the number of lineages represents a cladogenesis (a node) in one of the 100 phylogetic trees. These 100 trees were randomly taken from Highest Posterior Density (HPD) generated in BEAST from the GMYC dataset. Diversification rate shifts leading to a rate increase (7 Myr ago) and a rate decrease (2.5 Myr ago) as detected in LASER are indicated with dotted grey lines. Grey LTT line is for mosses as extracted from the tree in Shaw and colleagues [16]. The radiation of 300 Sphagnum at 14 Myr ago is indicated with a vertical line and an arrow. Grey arrow on the left indicates the stem age of Sphagnum at 223.8, Shaw and colleagues [16].
