Untangling the multiple ecological radiations of early mammals
The ecological diversification of early mammals is one of the most globally transformative
events in Earth's history and the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution (KTR) and end …

A genomic timescale for placental mammal evolution
The precise pattern and timing of speciation events that gave rise to all living placental
mammals remain controversial. We provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of …

A new time tree reveals Earth history's imprint on the evolution of modern birds
S Claramunt, J Cracraft - Science advances, 2015 - science.org
Determining the timing of diversification of modern birds has been difficult. We combined
DNA sequences of clock-like genes for most avian families with 130 fossil birds to generate …

[HTML][HTML] Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history
Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are
fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is …

Heterogeneity in global vegetation and terrestrial climate change during the late Eocene to early Oligocene transition
MJ Pound, U Salzmann - Scientific Reports, 2017 - nature.com
Rapid global cooling at the Eocene–Oligocene Transition (EOT),~ 33.9–33.5 Ma, is widely

Paleogene Xenarthra and the evolution of South American mammals
Recent studies show Xenarthra to be even more isolated systematically from other placental
mammals than traditionally thought. The group not only represents 1 of 4 primary placental …
