Figure 8.

a) The MAP species tree (also the majority-rule consensus species tree) produced in the BPP analysis of the simulated dataset Sim1-Matching of Giarla and Esselstyn (2015). Posterior probabilities for nodes are shown as percentages, whereas those not shown are 100%. Branches are drawn to reflect the posterior means of the node ages (Inline graphics), which are shown next to the nodes (with the true values in parentheses, Inline graphic), whereas the node bars indicate the 95% highest posterior density (HPD) intervals. The number of sequences per species per locus is in the parentheses after each species name. This tree is also the species tree that Giarla and Esselstyn (2015) inferred from the UCE data and is the true species tree used to generate the three simulated datasets (Sim1, Sim2, and Sim3x). b) and c) Two alternative species trees (Inline graphic and Inline graphic) with high posterior probabilities in the BPP analysis of the UCE dataset. Inline graphic appears to be the MAP tree, and the posterior means of Inline graphics for modern and ancestral populations on Inline graphic are shown in square brackets (Inline graphic). The 95% HPD intervals of node ages in Inline graphic and Inline graphic, shown as node bars, are shorter than those in Inline graphic, probably because there are 919 loci in the UCE dataset and 500 in Sim1. Note that Inline graphic and Inline graphic differ by an NNI move around node 1, whereas Inline graphic and Inline graphic differ by another NNI move around node 2.
