Table 5 Mean posterior parameters obtained with various models and partitioned morphological clocks 

From: Sphenodontian phylogeny and the impact of model choice in Bayesian morphological clock estimates of divergence times and evolutionary rates

  1. Results obtained under the FBD and SFBD tree models with a NoSA diversity taxon sampling strategy and distinct relaxed clock models. Mean values are reported given the very small variance for those parameter estimates (see full descriptive statistics in online Supplementary Information). Color schemes are the same as in “Table 4.” Abbreviations: α prior on the shape of the gamma parameter for rate variation among characters, d net diversification, r turnover, s proportion of fossil sampling, S sampling strategy.
