A total-evidence approach to dating with fossils, applied to the early radiation of the Hymenoptera
Phylogenies are usually dated by calibrating interior nodes against the fossil record. This
relies on indirect methods that, in the worst case, misrepresent the fossil information. Here …

Genome structure-based Juglandaceae phylogenies contradict alignment-based phylogenies and substitution rates vary with DNA repair genes
In lineages of allopolyploid origin, sets of homoeologous chromosomes may coexist that
differ in gene content and syntenic structure. Presence or absence of genes and …

Testing the Impact of Calibration on Molecular Divergence Times Using a Fossil-Rich Group: The Case of Nothofagus (Fagales)
Although temporal calibration is widely recognized as critical for obtaining accurate
divergence-time estimates using molecular dating methods, few studies have evaluated the …

Missing data in phylogenetic analysis: reconciling results from simulations and empirical data
JJ Wiens, MC Morrill - Systematic biology, 2011 - academic.oup.com
This paper will attempt to resolve some controversies about the effects of missing data on
phylogenetic analysis. Whether missing data are generally problematic is a critical issue in …

Divergence time estimation using fossils as terminal taxa and the origins of Lissamphibia
RA Pyron - Systematic biology, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Were molecular data available for extinct taxa, questions regarding the origins of many
groups could be settled in short order. As this is not the case, various strategies have been …

Historical Biogeography and Diversification of Truffles in the Tuberaceae and Their Newly Identified Southern Hemisphere Sister Lineage
Truffles have evolved from epigeous (aboveground) ancestors in nearly every major lineage
of fleshy fungi. Because accelerated rates of morphological evolution accompany the …

Global history of the ancient monocot family Araceae inferred with models accounting for past continental positions and previous ranges based on fossils
L Nauheimer, D Metzler, SS Renner - New Phytologist, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The family Araceae (3790 species, 117 genera) has one of the oldest fossil records among
angiosperms. Ecologically, members of this family range from free‐floating aquatics (Pistia …

A critical evaluation of how ancient DNA bulk bone metabarcoding complements traditional morphological analysis of fossil assemblages
When pooled for extraction as a bulk sample, the DNA within morphologically unidentifiable
fossil bones can, using next-generation sequencing, yield valuable taxonomic data. This …
