Estimating divergence dates and substitution rates in the Drosophila phylogeny.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Nov 2012

Abstract excerpt

An absolute timescale for evolution is essential if we are to associate evolutionary phenomena, such as adaptation or speciation, with potential causes, such as geological activity or climatic change. Timescales in most phylogenetic studies use geologically dated fossils or phylogeographic events as calibration points, but more recently, it has also become possible to use experimentally derived estimates of the...
