A total-evidence approach to dating with fossils, applied to the early radiation of the hymenoptera. [PDF]

open access: yesSyst Biol, 2012
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

Closing the gap between rocks and clocks using total-evidence dating. [PDF]

open access: yesPhilos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2016
Total-evidence dating (TED) allows evolutionary biologists to incorporate a wide range of dating information into a unified statistical analysis. One might expect this to improve the agreement between rocks and clocks but this is not necessarily the case.
