Estimating Divergence Times and Substitution Rates in Rhizobia [PDF]
Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2016 Accurate estimation of divergence times of soil bacteria that form nitrogen-fixing associations with most leguminous plants is challenging because of a limited fossil record and complexities associated with molecular clocks and phylogenetic diversity of root nodule bacteria, collectively called rhizobia.

Plastome structure, phylogenomics, and divergence times of tribe Cinnamomeae (Lauraceae)
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Tribe Cinnamomeae is a species-rich and ecologically important group in tropical and subtropical forests. Previous studies explored its phylogenetic relationships and historical biogeography using limited loci, which might result in biased ...

Estimating divergence times in large molecular phylogenies [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 Molecular dating of species divergences has become an important means to add a temporal dimension to the Tree of Life. Increasingly larger datasets encompassing greater taxonomic diversity are becoming available to generate molecular timetrees by using sophisticated methods that model rate variation among lineages. However, the practical application of

Estimation of divergence measures via weighted Jensen inequality on time scales
Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2021 The main purpose of the presented paper is to obtain some time scale inequalities for different divergences and distances by using weighted time scales Jensen’s inequality.

Estimating metazoan divergence times with a molecular clock [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Accurately dating when the first bilaterally symmetrical animals arose is crucial to our understanding of early animal evolution. The earliest unequivocally bilaterian fossils are ≈555 million years old. In contrast, molecular-clock analyses calibrated by using the fossil record of vertebrates estimate that vertebrates split from dipterans

Pueraria montana Population Structure and Genetic Diversity Based on Chloroplast Genome Data
Plants, 2023 Despite having a generally conserved structure, chloroplast genome data have been helpful for plant population genetics and evolution research. To mine Pueraria montana chloroplast genome variation architecture and phylogeny, we investigated the ...
