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.

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.

Estimating the Age of Poorly Dated Fossil Specimens and Deposits Using a Total-Evidence Approach and the Fossilized Birth-Death Process [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2023 Abstract 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]
Systematic Biology, 2020 Abstract 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. An alternative approach is tip-dating, which explicitly includes fossil data in the

Impacts of Taxon-Sampling Schemes on Bayesian Tip Dating Under the Fossilized Birth-Death Process [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2023 Abstract 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 for tree topologies and node times often assume that present-day taxa have ...

The Fossilized Birth–Death Model Is Identifiable [PDF]
Systematic BiologyAbstract Time-dependent birth–death sampling models have been used in numerous studies to infer past evolutionary dynamics in different biological contexts, for example, speciation and extinction rates in macroevolutionary studies, or effective reproductive number in epidemiological studies. These models are branching processes where

Ignoring stratigraphic age uncertainty leads to erroneous estimates of species divergence times under the fossilized birth–death process [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Fossil information is essential for estimating species divergence times, and can be integrated into Bayesian phylogenetic inference using the fossilized birth–death (FBD) process. An important aspect of palaeontological data is the uncertainty surrounding specimen ages, which can be handled in different ways during inference.
