Figure 1

Chronogram of major classes in Ascomycota, with a focus on Dothideomycetes. The chronogram was produced with BEAST from a data set of 19 truncated proteins. Branches with terminal grey triangles were collapsed and their number of leaves indicated in brackets after taxon labels. Numbers at nodes indicate mean node ages in millions of years and green bars indicate their 95% highest posterior density intervals. A broken line indicates uncertain phylogenetic placement.
