Additional File 2:

BEAST XML file. This file was used to perform the topologically unconstrained relaxed molecular clock analysis. Datafiles for constrained analyses included a starting tree and omitted all operators effecting tpological rearrangements (but not adjustments of branch lengths and lineage-specific evolutionary rates).

Additional File 3:

RAxML dataset and optimal unconstrained tree and model parameters. The alignment was used to perform constrained and unconstrained non-clock maximum likelihood analyses in RAxML. Model parameters and the optimal tree from the unconstrained analysis, and the topology for the constrained analysis are also included.
