Fossils know it best: using a new set of fossil calibrations to improve the temporal phylogenetic framework of murid rodents (Rodentia: Muridae)
Abstract Murid rodents (Rodentia: Muridae) represent the most diverse and abundant
mammalian family. In this study, we provide a refined set of fossil calibrations which is used …

Nuclear phylogenomics, but not mitogenomics, resolves the most successful Late Miocene radiation of African mammals (Rodentia: Muridae: Arvicanthini)
Abstract The tribe Arvicanthini (Muridae: Murinae) is a highly diversified group of rodents
(ca. 100 species) and with 18 African genera (plus one Asiatic) represents probably the most …
