Shown are mean values and 95% highest posterior density (HPD) intervals of the ages and the subdivision/inheritance scenarios (‘split’) with the highest relative probability (RP) based on a dispersal-extinction-cladogenesis model in Lagrange. Asterisks (*) after calibrations indicate fossil calibration that we extract from the paleontological literature.
