We reconstructed and dated the Annonaceae phylogenetic tree in BEAST 1.8.2. We used the uncorrelated lognormal clock model and a Yule birth prior. Substitution rates of markers were linked, and we used the GTR + gamma + invariant sites substitution rate model. To date the Annonaceae, we used the fossils Endressinia (most-recent common ancestor of Magnoliaceae and Annonaceae; 113 Ma) for the split between Magnoliaceae and Annonaceae, and Futabanthus (89 Ma) for the Annonaceae crown node (for more details, see Appendix S2). Please note that some of the taxonomic names have been changed (can be found in Appendix S1 [= Dryad file "Functional trait data and GenBank sequences in Annonaceae"]) and should be updated in future use of this datafile. In case you need 100 trees from the posterior distribution, please write to Renske Onstein (onsteinre@gmail.com).
