Fossils, molecules, divergence times, and the origin of lissamphibians.

Systematic biology - 1 Jun 2007

Marjanović David, Laurin Michel

Abstract excerpt

A review of the paleontological literature shows that the early dates of appearance of Lissamphibia recently inferred from molecular data do not favor an origin of extant amphibians from temnospondyls, contrary to recent claims. A supertree is assembled using new Mesquite modules that allow extinct taxa to be incorporated into a time-calibrated phylogeny with a user-defined geological time scale. The supertree...
