The Root of Flowering Plants and Total Evidence [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2015 Support for Amborella as the sole survivor of an evolutionary lineage that is sister to all other angiosperms comes from positions in DNA multiple-sequence alignments that have a poor fit to time-reversible substitution models. These sites exhibit significant levels of homoplasy, compositional heterogeneity, and strong heterotachy.

Including autapomorphies is important for paleontological tip-dating with clocklike data, but not with non-clock data [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Tip-dating, where fossils are included as dated terminal taxa in Bayesian dating inference, is an increasingly popular method. Data for these studies often come from morphological character matrices originally developed for non-dated, and usually ...
