The quality of the fossil record and the accuracy of phylogenetic inferences about sampling and diversity.

Systematic biology - 1 Mar 2000

Wagner P J

Abstract excerpt

Because phylogenies can be estimated without stratigraphic data and because estimated phylogenies also infer gaps in sampling, some workers have used phylogeny estimates as templates for evaluating sampling from the fossil record and for "correcting" historical diversity patterns. However, it is not known how sampling intensity (the probability of sampling taxa per unit time) and completeness (the proportion of...
