Megaevolutionary dynamics and the timing of evolutionary innovation in reptiles.

Nature communications - 3 Jul 2020

Simões Tiago R, Vernygora Oksana, Caldwell Michael W, Pierce Stephanie E

Abstract excerpt

The origin of phenotypic diversity among higher clades is one of the most fundamental topics in evolutionary biology. However, due to methodological challenges, few studies have assessed rates of evolution and phenotypic disparity across broad scales of time to understand the evolutionary dynamics behind the origin and early evolution of new clades. Here, we provide a total-evidence dating approach to this...
