Figure 1

Molecular supertree of the world's extant pinnipeds (plus one recently extinct Monachus species) based on a weighted matrix representation with parsimony analysis of 50 maximum likelihood gene trees. Node numbers correspond to divergence dates in Table 2. Branch lengths correspond to time with the scale bar indicating one million years. Boxed subset provides additional detail on branching order for two parts of the supertree where divergences occurred over a short timeframe.
