Additional filesAdditional file 1: Lacertid clade ages. Mean divergence dates, followed by error ranges, estimated under four different Bayesian molecular clock models using 10% and 20% prior probability distributions. Model abbreviations are Uncorrelated lognormal (ULN), Dirichlet Model (DM), Compound Poisson Process (CPP), and the strict molecular clock (MC). Additional analyses using the ULN model are ULN_1 (excluding the amphisbaenian and teiid calibrations), ULN_2 (excluding the amphisbaenian calibration), ULN_3 (excluding the teiid calibration), mtDNA partition, nDNA partition, and BEAST. Dates are given in millions of years. Nodes are numbered in correspondence to the tree in Figure 1 and calibrated nodes are denoted with an asterisk (*).
