Description
Ultrametric phylogenetic tree for 87 of the 89 extant cetacean species

This phylogeny was constructed by Bayesian phylogenetic inference from six mitochondrial and nine nuclear genes. It was calibrated using seven paleontological age constraints and a relaxed molecular clock approach. See Steeman et al. (2009) for details.
