Potential for bias and low precision in molecular divergence time estimation of the Canopy of Life: an example from aquatic bird families
Uncertainty in divergence time estimation is rarely studied from the perspective of phylogenetic node age. If available models fail to completely account for rate heterogeneity, substitution saturation and incompleteness of the fossil record, uncertainty in divergence time estimation may increase wi...
