Figure 5

Influences of individual calibration points on node ages. Mean molecular divergence dates, ± 1 standard deviation, for the major lineages estimated using different combinations of fossil calibrations. Divergence dates were calculated using: all four fossil calibrations; all excluding the teiid Cnemidophorus tigris and the amphisbaenian Rhineura floridana; all except R. floridana; and all except C. tigris. Evolutionary splits are Teiidae-Amphisbaenia (circle), Amphisbaenia-Lacertidae (star), Gallotinae-Lacertinae (triangle), and Lacertini-Eremiadini (square).
