Two notorious nodes: a critical examination of relaxed molecular clock age estimates of the bilaterian animals and placental mammals
The popularity of relaxed clock Bayesian inference of clade origin timings has generated
several recent publications with focal results considerably older than the fossils of the clades …

Four well‐constrained calibration points from the vertebrate fossil record for molecular clock estimates
J Müller, RR Reisz - BioEssays, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Recent controversy about the use of the vertebrate fossil record for external calibration of
molecular clocks centers on two issues, the number of dates used for calibration and the …

Molecular clock calibrations and metazoan divergence dates
MSY Lee - Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1999 - Springer
It has recently been argued that living metazoans diverged over 800 million years ago,
based on evidence from 22 nuclear genes for such a deep divergence between vertebrates …

Uncertainty in the timing of origin of animals and the limits of precision in molecular timescales
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 …

Molecular timescales and the fossil record: a paleontological perspective
RR Reisz, J Müller - TRENDS in Genetics, 2004 - cell.com
The fossil record serves a crucial function as an external calibration for genomic clocks and
molecular evolutionary timescales. Although certain portions of the vertebrate fossil record …

Molecular clocks do not support the Cambrian explosion
The fossil record has long supported the view that most animal phyla originated during a
brief period approximately 520 MYA known as the Cambrian explosion. However, molecular …

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 …

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 …

The origin of animals: can molecular clocks and the fossil record be reconciled?
The evolutionary emergence of animals is one of the most significant episodes in the history
of life, but its timing remains poorly constrained. Molecular clocks estimate that animals …

[HTML][HTML] Four mammal fossil calibrations: balancing competing palaeontological and molecular considerations
MJ Phillips - 2015 - palaeo-electronica.org
With the introduction of relaxed-clock molecular dating methods, the role of fossil calibration
has expanded from providing a timescale, to also informing the models for molecular rate …
