For the eukaryote tree ( fig. 4), the models with zero, one, two, three, four, and five rate shifts are rejected in favor of a model with six rate shifts ( P< 0.05) ( supplementary table S9, Supplementary Material online). A model with six rate shifts is not rejected in favor of a model with seven rate shifts ( P = 0.055). Six shifts are thus detected at 1, 11, 21, 121, 14,1 and 151 Ma ( supplementary table S10, Supplementary Material online). The parameters obtained for the 6 shifts model between 2,100 and 151 Ma (λ−μ = 0.00307 and μ/λ = 0.9581) were used to plot the confidence interval of the null distribution ( fig. 4). column) A timeline from the perspective of humans, showing divergences with other groups of organisms. In each case, mean ± standard error (among studies) is shown, with number of studies in parentheses.

[ PubMed] [ Google Scholar] For the TTOL, we estimated node time uncertainty in both the LTT curve and rate test by producing 500 replicates of the TTOL, sampling a time between the confidence intervals at each node under a uniform distribution. These replicates were then used in the TREEPAR analysis to estimate and test rate change, with the uncertainty shown in figure 4 and the significant shifts by time interval (20 My) shown in supplementary table S8, Supplementary Material online.

For the bird tree ( supplementary fig. S4a, Supplementary Material online), the models with zero, one, two, three, four, and five rate shifts are rejected in favor of a model with six rate shifts ( P< 0.05) ( supplementary table S9, Supplementary Material online). A model with six rate shifts is not rejected in favor of a model with seven rate shifts ( P = 0.091). The 6 shifts are detected at 1, 3.4, 14.4, 48.2, 73.3, and 84.4 Ma ( supplementary table S10, Supplementary Material online). The parameters obtained for the 6 shifts model between 73.3 and 48.2 Ma (λ−μ = 0.04058 and μ/λ = 0.0395) were used to plot the confidence interval of the null distribution ( supplementary fig. S4a, Supplementary Material online). Avise JC, Liu JX. On the temporal inconsistencies of Linnean taxonomic ranks. Biol J Linn Soc. 2011; 102(4):707–714. [ Google Scholar] The consistency in TTS among groups found here suggests that the time-based acquisition of GIs, and not adaptive change, is driving reproductive isolation, almost in a neutral process. By implication, geographically isolated populations, even if morphologically different and diagnosable, are not expected to be species until they have reached the point of no return. This is because some differentiation and adaptive change should occur in isolation, and many isolates will be ephemeral ( Rosenblum et al. 2012), merging with other isolates or disappearing and never becoming species that enter the tree of life. More population data are needed before it is possible to identify the point of no return with precision. Nonetheless, these data suggest that, in most cases, described species separated by only tens of thousands of years are not real species. The Linnaean rank of subspecies, which has declined in use for decades, might be appropriate for such diagnosable isolates that have not yet reached the point of no return. Oversplitting of species by taxonomists may explain the sharp peak in diversification (hyper-expansion) in the last 10 My of eukaryote history ( fig. 4 b). On the other hand, it could also result from statistical (small sample) artifacts that were published in many different studies (summarized in the TTOL). Therefore, further analysis of that unusual rate spike is warranted. Soo, R. M., Hemp, J., Parks, D. H., Fischer, W. W. & Hugenholtz, P.
