Discriminating signal from noise in the fossil record of early vertebrates reveals cryptic evolutionary history [PDF]
The fossil record of early vertebrates has been influential in elucidating the evolutionary assembly of the gnathostome bodyplan. Understanding of the timing and tempo of vertebrate innovations remains, however, mired in a literal reading of the fossil ...
