Additional file 1:

Estimated divergence times (in millions of years) from three different dating methods. [See Additional file 2 for definitions of node names].

Additional file 2:

Names for internal nodes. The labels to the right of each node correspond to the names used in Additional files 1, 3, and 4.

Additional file 3:

Detailed data on dN, dS, RN, RS and associated error for each gene and concatenated dataset (all species). Each row corresponds to a phylogenetic branch defined by its basal node and derived node/tip. RN and RS values are in terms of SSB. Approximated standard errors (SEs) are provided for RN and RS. Note that SE approximations are undefined and reported as 0 for any absolute rate estimate of 0. This table does not include atp9 because it was not sequenced in all species. [See Additional file 2 for definitions of node names].

Additional file 4:

Detailed data on dN, dS, RN, RS and associated error for each gene and concatenated dataset (atp9 subset). Same setup as Additional file 2. Only the 61 species for which atp9 was sequenced are included, so that data for atp9 and the concatenation of all four mitochondrial genes could be presented. [See Additional file 2 for definitions of node names].

Additional file 5:

Maximum likelihood trees for each of the 4 mitochondrial genes (generated without topological constraint). Parsimony bootstrap values are noted to the left of the corresponding node. Only values > 0.5 are shown. Branch lengths are in terms of substitutions per site.
