 | | Only one of the 20 regions of pairwise conflict (an average of three regions of conflict for each of the six pairwise gene comparisons) is moderately well supported by parsimony bootstraps in excess of 70% for both genes. |
| | Using the calibration of 12 Mya for the origin of modern murines (Batomys versus other murines), we were able to estimate dates for a series of key phylogenetic events. |
| | That the sister group (Batomys) to the main murine radiation is isolated in the Philippines means either that the center of origin for murines was in Southeast Asia or that the Philippines is a refuge for the earliest murine lineage. |
