Geochronologically calibrated consensus hypothesis of peramelemorphian interrelationships.

Colour gradient demarcates Lemdubuoryctes aruensis and other stem-grade bandicoots (pink) from xeric-adapted extant lineages (ochre), and the crown peramelid radiation (green). The peramelemorphian root node (●) and named subclades (■) are also correlated against a schematic of changing habitats through time. Dashed lines indicate phylogenetic uncertainty. †Fossil; *recently extinct arid-zone taxon. Graphics produced with Adobe CS5 by B. P. K.
