Fig. 2. Site-homogeneous models consistently underestimate branch lengths.

Fig. 2

(A) Tree showing the clades (names) and branches (letters) for which lengths were estimated using Philippe-all data. (B) Estimates of clade and branch lengths using site-heterogeneous model (blue) and site-homogeneous model (brown) based on empirical data. (C) Tree showing the clades and branches for which lengths were estimated using Simion-all data. (D) Estimates of clade and branch lengths using site-heterogeneous (blue) model and site-homogeneous model (brown) based on empirical data. Site-homogeneous models consistently estimate shorter branch lengths.
