		Explaining this discrepancy is difficult: one possibility is an acceleration of the rate of sequence evolution among these taxa, undetected by the likelihood-ratio test, but important enough to be noticeable in an analysis that does not impose a molecular clock.

		Despite discrepancies for the most recent nodes, both methods of analysis agree that the divergences observed in the sequences from the extant taxa (including some that became extinct in historical times) are more recent than the estimated ages of the islands of the archipelago.
