The molecular clock presents a means of estimating evolutionary rates and timescales using
genetic data. These estimates can lead to important insights into evolutionary processes and …

The emergence of a new phylogeny of ray-finned fishes at the turn of the twenty-first century
marked a paradigm shift in understanding the evolutionary history of half of living …

Big, time-scaled phylogenies are fundamental to connecting evolutionary processes to
modern biodiversity patterns. Yet inferring reliable phylogenetic trees for thousands of …

Time-calibrated phylogenies of extant species (referred to here as 'extant timetrees') are
widely used for estimating diversification dynamics. However, there has been considerable …

Elaboration of Bayesian phylogenetic inference methods has continued at pace in recent
years with major new advances in nearly all aspects of the joint modelling of evolutionary …

Genome-scale sequence data have invigorated the study of hybridization and introgression,
particularly in animals. However, outside of a few notable cases, we lack systematic tests for …

There is growing interest in using hydrogen (H2) as a long-duration energy storage resource
in a future electric grid dominated by variable renewable energy (VRE) generation …

The establishment of modern terrestrial life is indissociable from angiosperm evolution.
While available molecular clock estimates of angiosperm age range from the Paleozoic to …

What are the models used in phylogenetic analysis and what exactly is involved in Bayesian
evolutionary analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods? How can you …

The timing of divergences among metazoan lineages is integral to understanding the
processes of animal evolution, placing the biological events of species divergences into the …
