Fig 3. MCMC simulations performed in BEAST v. 2.0 using the zebra finch adjusted mutation rate.

Fig 3

Mean estimates of divergence between each pair of lineages (red circles) and the associated 95% highest posterior density interval (HPD) for each posterior distribution (gray dotted lines). Lineage divergences proposed by simulated ancestral states are labeled: L1-L3, L4-L3, L2-L3. Red diamonds = mean divergence time in millions of years (ma) of four supported MHC IIB lineages (L1-L4) in the Corvidae. Gray triangles are the mean estimates of the MRCA for the all lineage dyads using the adjusted chicken mutation rate. The phylogenetic reconstruction and estimated divergence times of major clades are from Jarvis et al. (2014). Blue vertical dashed line indicates an alternate estimated divergence time of suboscine and oscine clades (Ericson et al. 2014).
