Fig. 6. Biogeography of the Cryptopone gilva complex within Central America.Chronogram inferred using BEAST2,300 UCE loci, and a fixed topology (all UCE samples and SWSC-EN partitioning). Only results for the C. gilva complex are shown (see Supp Fig. 6 [online only] for the full results). Numbers on nodes are mean ages in millions of years ago and node bars are 95% Highest Posterior Densities (HPD).The map inset shows the distribution of C. gilva-clade samples within Central America. Colored dots match tip labels of the chronogram. Sites where specimens were identified by morphology alone (no sequencing) are shown as x for C. gilvagrande and a small black dot for C. guatemalensis. Samples of true C. gilva from the United States are not shown in the map.
