Figure 4: Comparison of the tip-dating and node-dating approaches.

From: Putting scales into evolutionary time: the divergence of major scale insect lineages (Hemiptera) predates the radiation of modern angiosperm hosts

Figure 4

(A) Face-to-face comparison of the phylogenetic relationships constructed using the R Ape Package. Left: tip-dating, right: node-dating. Red: change in Pityococcus placement within the Neococcoidea lineage using the node-dating approach, and outside of the Neococcoidea when fossils are added. C: Coccomorpha, N: Neococcoidea. (B) Plot of the posterior ages for the split of Aphidomorpha/Coccomorpha, Coccomorpha and Neococcoidea lineages, obtained from the node-dating and tip-dating approaches with different root priors. The dots represent the median age, and the ranges are the 95% HPD. TD: Tip-dating, ND: Node-dating.
