Fig. 1: Distribution of phenotypic and molecular relative evolutionary rates in different reptile groups.
From: Megaevolutionary dynamics and the timing of evolutionary innovation in reptiles
Rates are relative to the mean posterior estimate of base of the clock rate value (= 0.00345 substitutions per character per myr). a distribution of phenotypic rates among early evolving diapsid lineages (median=1.9; mean=2.1). b distribution of phenotypic (median=0.51; mean=1.0) and molecular rates (median=0.54; mean=0.83) among lepidosaurs. c linear regression between phenotypic and molecular rates (log-transformed) among lepidosaurs (R-squared: 0.0001425; p-value: 0.8615; two-sided). n = 109 (a) and n = 211 (b, c) for molecular and phenotypic evolutionary rates pooled from all unique bipartitions from the posterior trees. Shaded grey area = 95% CI. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
