Figure 4 in Evidence from mitochondrial genomics supports the lower Mesozoic of South Asia as the time and place of basal divergence of cypriniform fishes (Actinopterygii: Ostariophysi)

Figure 4. Ancestral distribution ranges reconstructed parsimoniously using PAUP*. Two representative character state (see legend for Fig. 3) optimizations are shown on the upper (delayed transition) and lower (accelerated transition) rows. Minimum F optimization was the same as delayed transition. The parsimonious reconstruction of character states allows an unrealistic all zero state. It does not give the character state at the root. In such cases the character state was manually optimized (asterisks).
