Average (and standard deviation, SD) numbers of mutations separating descendent haplotypes from ancestral nodes (rho) and corresponding estimates of time to most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) assuming an average substitution rate of 10.8% per million generations in the 785 bp concatenated cytochrome <i>b</i> and D loop fragment.

1Ancestral nodes for rooting were median vectors (MV) corresponding to the basal node identified in the Bayesian tree (Fig 3) or the one immediately interior to the descendent haplotypes, or were the sampled haplotype immediately interior to the descendent haplotypes. 2Colors correspond to those in Fig 6.
