Journal ArticleDOI
Paleontological Evidence to Date the Tree of Life
TL;DR: This work provides "hard" minimum and "soft" maximum age constraints for 30 divergences among key genome model organisms; these should contribute to better understanding of the dating of the animal tree of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A specimen-based protocol for selecting and documenting relevant fossils is presented and future directions for evaluating and utilizing phylogenetic and temporal data from the fossil record are discussed, to establish the best practices for justifying fossils used for the temporal calibration of molecular phylogenies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The timescale of early land plant evolution
Jennifer L. Morris,Mark N. Puttick,James W. Clark,Dianne Edwards,Paul Kenrick,Silvia Pressel,Charles H. Wellman,Ziheng Yang,Ziheng Yang,Harald Schneider,Philip C. J. Donoghue +10 more
TL;DR: A timescale for early land plant evolution that integrates over topological uncertainty by exploring the impact of competing hypotheses on bryophyte−tracheophyte relationships, among other variables, on divergence time estimation is established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomic datasets provide both precision and accuracy in estimating the timescale of placental mammal phylogeny
Mario dos Reis,Jun G. Inoue,Jun G. Inoue,Masami Hasegawa,Robert J. Asher,Philip C. J. Donoghue,Ziheng Yang +6 more
TL;DR: A powerful Bayesian method is used to analyse 36 nuclear genomes and 274 mitochondrial genomes to reject a pre K–Pg model of placental ordinal diversification, and it is suggested other infamous instances of mismatch between molecular and palaeontological divergence time estimates will be resolved with this same approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
MicroRNAs and the advent of vertebrate morphological complexity
Alysha M. Heimberg,Lorenzo F. Sempere,Vanessa N. Moy,Philip C. J. Donoghue,Kevin J. Peterson +4 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that lying behind the origin of vertebrate complexity is the dramatic expansion of the noncoding RNA inventory including miRNAs, rather than an increase in the protein-encoding inventory caused by GDEs.
