Divergence times in demosponges (Porifera): first insights from new mitogenomes and the inclusion of fossils in a birth-death clock model [PDF]
Background Approximately 80% of all described extant sponge species belong to the class Demospongiae. Yet, despite their diversity and importance, accurate divergence times are still unknown for most demosponge clades.

Integrating Fossil Observations Into Phylogenetics Using the Fossilized Birth–Death Model
Over the past decade, a new set of methods for estimating dated trees has emerged. Originally referred to as the fossilized birth–death (FBD) process, this single model has expanded to a family of models that allows researchers to coestimate evolutionary

Several total-evidence dating studies under the fossilized birth-death (FBD) model have produced very old age estimates, which are not supported by the fossil record. This phenomenon has been termed “deep root attraction (DRA)”.

Revising dating estimates and the antiquity of eusociality in termites using the fossilized birth–death process [PDF]
Deciphering the timing and tempo of lineage diversification of organisms has greatly benefited from advances in Bayesian phylogenetic analyses using morphological data. Those advances, however, have not been used for termites despite a rich fossil record.

Birth-death models are widely used to describe the diversification process which leads to the observed species and phylogenies. When integrated into Bayesian phylogenetic inference, birth-death models allow the joint inference of the phylogeny and the ...

Including fossils in phylogeny: a glimpse into the evolution of the superfamily Evanioidea (Hymenoptera: Apocrita) under tip-dating and the fossilized birth–death process [PDF]
Using a fossilized birth–death model, a new phylogeny of the superfamily Evanioidea (including ensign wasps, nightshade wasps and hatchet wasps) is proposed, with estimates of divergence times for its constitutive families and for corroborating the ...

Abstract Phylogenetic diversification analyses often overlook the wealth of information contained in fossils that cannot be directly integrated into phylogenetic trees (called fossil occurrences), as well as fine-grained variations in speciation and extinction rates across lineages.

Impacts of Taxon-Sampling Schemes on Bayesian Molecular Dating under the Unresolved Fossilized Birth-Death Process [PDF]
Evolutionary timescales can be estimated using a combination of genetic data and fossil evidence based on the molecular clock. Bayesian phylogenetic methods such as tip dating and total-evidence dating provide a powerful framework for inferring ...
