  1. Four different evolutionary rates (μ; per site per million years) were used. TMRCA and the 95 % highest posterior density (in parentheses) were computed with BEAST (ver. 1.7.5) [35] using the substitution model HKY and the strict clock model. The Kimura 2-parameter distance (K2P) was calculated using MEGA5 [26]. Codes for clusters and nodes are as shown in Figs. 3 and 5
