Ultrametric Phylogeny of Australian Agamid Lizards

Description

Ultrametric phylogenetic tree for 69 Australian Agamid lizards. Tree was constructed by maximum likelihood from 1800 bp of mtDNA using the GTR + I + G model of sequence evolution and made ultrametric using Non-Parametric Rate Smoothing.
