Phylogenomic analyses support the position of turtles as the sister group of birds and crocodiles (Archosauria)
Background The morphological peculiarities of turtles have, for a long time, impeded their
accurate placement in the phylogeny of amniotes. Molecular data used to address this major …

A divergence dating analysis of turtles using fossil calibrations: an example of best practices
Turtles have served as a model system for molecular divergence dating studies using fossil
calibrations. However, because some parts of the fossil record of turtles are very well known …
