Fig 3. Intermediate region of full 900-species phylogeny, Murinae (in part, African and Indian clades) and Cricetidae (in part, hamsters Cricetinae and voles Arvicolinae).

Colored ML phylogram on left is the entire tree, color coded as in Fig 1 for non-highlighted sections of the tree. Section C (containing the African and Indian murine genera and their descendants) is highlighted in light grey and expanded in detail to right; Section D (containing Cricetinae and Arvicolinae) is highlighted in dark grey. Numbers above branches are the ML bootstrap values; “*” indicates 98–100%, values below 50% are not shown. Boxed numbers are tribal-level clades discussed in the text. Circled numbers are the calibration nodes, numbers as in Table 1. Scale bar indicates expected amount of change along branches.
