New insights on angiosperm crown age based on Bayesian node dating and skyline fossilized birth-death approaches [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsDespite considerable work in recent years, pinpointing the time when angiosperms originated has been challenging. However, the rapid development of molecular clock methodology has provided new tools to resolve this conundrum.

Selective Sampling of Species and Fossils Influences Age Estimates Under the Fossilized Birth–Death Model [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 The fossilized birth–death (FBD) model allows the estimation of species divergence times from molecular and fossil information in a coherent framework of diversification and fossil sampling.

Impacts of Taxon-Sampling Schemes on Bayesian Tip Dating Under the Fossilized Birth-Death Process. [PDF]
Syst Biol, 2023 Evolutionary timescales can be inferred by molecular-clock analyses of genetic data and fossil evidence. Bayesian phylogenetic methods such as tip dating provide a powerful framework for inferring evolutionary timescales, but the most widely used priors ...

Estimating the Age of Poorly Dated Fossil Specimens and Deposits Using a Total-Evidence Approach and the Fossilized Birth-Death Process. [PDF]
Syst Biol, 2023 Bayesian total-evidence approaches under the fossilized birth-death model enable biologists to combine fossil and extant data while accounting for uncertainty in the ages of fossil specimens, in an integrative phylogenetic analysis.

A Simulation-Based Evaluation of Tip-Dating Under the Fossilized Birth-Death Process. [PDF]
Syst Biol, 2020 Bayesian molecular dating is widely used to study evolutionary timescales. This procedure usually involves phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide sequence data, with fossil-based calibrations applied as age constraints on internal nodes of the tree.

The fossilized birth-death process for coherent calibration of divergence-time estimates. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014 Significance Divergence time estimation on an absolute timescale requires external calibration information, which typically is derived from the fossil record.

Total-Evidence Dating under the Fossilized Birth-Death Process. [PDF]
Syst Biol, 2016 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 accommodates the uncertainty in the placement of fossils while dating the ...
