Evolutionary rate variation across sampled species. The bar plots represent average rate estimates (in number of substitutions per site per million years) obtained for the 63 terminal taxa regrouped by taxonomy. The rates were calculated using a rate-autocorrelated log-normal (LN) relaxed molecular clock model under the CAT-GTR + Γ4 mixture model with a birth-death prior on the diversification process and 13 soft calibration constraints. Data points are plotted as open circles with n = 10, 1, 18, 34 sample points in each taxonomic categories. Centre lines show the medians, crosses represent sample means, and box limits indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles with whiskers extending 1.5 times the interquartile range from the 25th and 75th percentiles. The width of the boxes is proportional to the square root of the sample size. This figure was made with BoxPlotR [81]
