Phylogenetic relationships (following ref. 31) among the 19 mammalian species analyzed. (Depicted branch lengths are arbitrary.) The branch shading patterns indicate a partitioning of the tree into five clades plus a group of three ancestral branches that was assumed in initial analyses of rate variation across the tree (see Results and Discussion). For reference in later figures, internal branches are labeled by number and external branches are referred to by species name.
