Table 4. Estimated substitution rates (per million years) for each of the used genetic markers.

Genetic marker Rooting scenario 1 Rooting scenario 2 Rooting scenario 3 Scenario 4
Median ucld.mean
18S rDNA 2.5 × 10−4 2.5 × 10−4 2.5 × 10−4 2.9 × 10−4
25S rDNA 6.5 × 10−4 6.6 × 10−4 6.3 × 10−4 8.2 × 10−4
matK 10.1 × 10−4 10.1 × 10−4 10.0 × 10−4 11.7 × 10−4
trnL/LFa 12.9 × 10−4 13.1 × 10−4 12.8 × 10−4 15.5 × 10−4

Note:

Estimates are provided for all four tested topological hypotheses (rooting scenarios 1–3, and scenario 4 constraining the topology of Su et al. (2015)).
