Dating the time of origin of major clades: molecular clocks and the fossil record
AB Smith, KJ Peterson - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary …, 2002 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Molecular and paleontological data provide independent means of estimating
when groups of organisms evolved in the geological past, but neither approach can be …

Molecular clocks and the incompleteness of the fossil record
MS Springer - Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1995 - Springer
Molecular clocks can be evaluated by comparing absolute rates of evolution and by
performing relative-rate tests. Typically, calculations of absolute rates are based on earliest …

The origin and diversification of eukaryotes: problems with molecular phylogenetics and molecular clock estimation
Determining the relationships among and divergence times for the major eukaryotic
lineages remains one of the most important and controversial outstanding problems in …

The evolution of methods for establishing evolutionary timescales
PCJ Donoghue, Z Yang - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2016 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The fossil record is well known to be incomplete. Read literally, it provides a distorted view of
the history of species divergence and extinction, because different species have different …

Caveats on the use of fossil calibrations for molecular dating: a comment on Near et al.
We reassess a study on a fossil-calibrated molecular clock that provides a new method for
evaluating the accuracy of calibration points. We address several pitfalls that molecular …

Dating branches on the tree of life using DNA
GA Wray - Genome biology, 2001 - Springer
The use of DNA sequences to estimate the timing of evolutionary events is increasingly
popular, although it is fraught with practical difficulties. But the exponential growth of relevant …

Calibrating and constraining molecular clocks
In dating phylogenetic trees, it is important to work to the strengths of paleontology and
molecular phylogeny estimation. Minimum constraints on calibrations (ie, oldest fossils in a …

Paleontological evidence to date the tree of life
MJ Benton, PCJ Donoghue - Molecular biology and evolution, 2007 - academic.oup.com
The role of fossils in dating the tree of life has been misunderstood. Fossils can provide
good “minimum” age estimates for branches in the tree, but “maximum” constraints on those …

Inferences from tip‐calibrated phylogenies: a review and a practical guide
Molecular dating of phylogenetic trees is a growing discipline using sequence data to co‐
estimate the timing of evolutionary events and rates of molecular evolution. All molecular …

The timing of eukaryotic evolution: does a relaxed molecular clock reconcile proteins and fossils?
The use of nucleotide and amino acid sequences allows improved understanding of the
timing of evolutionary events of life on earth. Molecular estimates of divergence times are …
