From: Molecular phylogenetics reveals convergent evolution in lower Congo River spiny eels

Fig. 5

Time-calibrated phylogeny of spiny eels inferred from cytochrome b data using Bayesian inference (BEAST) with a relaxed clock. Letters correspond to divergence date values (MRCA mean, highest posterior density values) in Table 2. Names in blue italic indicate endemic non-cryptophthalmic LCR (Lower Congo River) species, names in blue bold italic indicate endemic cryptophthalmic LCR species, names in red italic indicate native, non-cryptophthalmic LCR species. Geographical abbreviations: CB, Congo Basin; EA, eastern Africa; LCR, Lower Congo River; LG, Lower Guinea; LT, Lake Tanganyika; SA, southern Africa; UG, Upper Guinea
