A Total-Evidence Approach to Dating with Fossils, Applied to the Early Radiation of the Hymenoptera
Phylogenies are usually dated by calibrating interior nodes against the fossil record. This relies on indirect methods that, in the worst case, misrepresent the fossil information. Here, we contrast such node dating with an approach that includes fossils
