From: Utility of characters evolving at diverse rates of evolution to resolve quartet trees with unequal branch lengths: analytical predictions of long-branch effects

Figure 5

The predicted utility Π − Max(x 1, x 2) versus substitution rate λ based on the JC model is plotted for l = 1.5 (solid line), l = 2 (dotted line), l = 2.5 (dashed line), and l = 3 (dot-dashed line), for the four-taxon tree as depicted in Figure 1 in which t 0 = 0.1, T 1 = T 2 = T 3 = T 4 = lt 0, λ 1 = λ 3 = 1, and λ 0 = λ 2 = λ 4 = λ.
