Revisiting the insect mitochondrial molecular clock: the mid-Aegean trench calibration.

Abstract excerpt

Phylogenetic trees in insects are frequently dated by applying a "standard" mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) clock estimated at 2.3% My(-1), but despite its wide use reliable calibration points have been lacking. Here, we used a well-established biogeographic barrier, the mid-Aegean trench separating th...
