Divergence times ±95% HPD are estimated utilizing the mitochondrial clock rate of 3.54% divergence per My (27). Clock rates were then separately estimated based on calibration to the 5- to 3-My period of WAIS collapse. All estimations were performed on the alignment containing one representative sequence (658 bp) for each lineage (number of lineages is shown in parentheses), implemented in BEAST 2.4.7.
