Conceptual issues in Bayesian divergence time estimation [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 Bayesian inference of species divergence times is an unusual statistical problem, because the divergence time parameters are not identifiable unless both fossil calibrations and sequence data are available. Commonly used marginal priors on divergence times derived from fossil calibrations may conflict with node order on the phylogenetic tree causing a ...

Uncertainty in Divergence Time Estimation [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2020 Abstract Understanding and representing uncertainty is crucial in academic research because it enables studies to build on the conclusions of previous studies, leading to robust advances in a particular field. Here, we evaluate the nature of uncertainty and the manner by which it is represented in divergence time estimation, a field that

Sequence comparison of the mitochondrial genomes of five brackish water species of the family Neritidae: Phylogenetic implications and divergence time estimation [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Neritids are ancient gastropod species which can live in marine, brackish water, and freshwater environments. In this study, we sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial genomes of five brackish water neritids (i.e., Clithon corona, Clithon lentiginosum,

Statistics of Divergence Times [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2001 Given the number of nucleotide substitutions between two species (K) and the substitution rate nu, the expectation of the corresponding divergence time is usually calculated as K/(2 nu). This is strictly true only if nu is regarded as a constant because the ratio of two random variables, such as K/(2 nu), has distributional properties different from ...
