The total-evidence approach to divergence time dating uses molecular and morphological
data from extant and fossil species to infer phylogenetic relationships, species divergence …

Bayesian total-evidence dating involves the simultaneous analysis of morphological data
from the fossil record and morphological and sequence data from recent organisms, and it …

Birds are among the most diverse and intensively studied vertebrate groups, but many
aspects of their higher-level phylogeny and evolution still remain controversial. One …

Fossil information is essential for estimating species divergence times, and can be
integrated into Bayesian phylogenetic inference using the fossilized birth–death (FBD) …

Time-calibrated species phylogenies are critical for addressing a wide range of questions in
evolutionary biology, such as those that elucidate historical biogeography or uncover …

How natural climate cycles, such as past glacial/interglacial patterns, have shaped species
distributions at the high-latitude regions of the Southern Hemisphere is still largely unclear …

Bayesian methods for molecular clock dating of species divergences have been greatly
developed during the past decade. Advantages of the methods include the use of relaxed …

Divergence-time estimation based on molecular phylogenies and the fossil record has
provided insights into fundamental questions of evolutionary biology. In Bayesian node …

Bayesian inference provides a powerful framework for integrating different sources of
information (in particular, molecules and fossils) to derive estimates of species divergence …

Molecular dating analyses allow evolutionary timescales to be estimated from genetic data,
