Dating algal origin using molecular clock methods.
Algae and plants are the dominant primary producers on our planet and define an evolutionarily diverse group of taxa (Graham and Wilcox 2000). Despite their importance, dating algal origin is frustrated by a limited fossil record (Knoll 1992). Recent molecular phylogenetic trees place algae near the base of the eukaryotic tree of life (e.g., Baldauf et al. 2000, 2003; Nozaki et al. 2003). This ...
متن کاملMolecular Clock Dating using MrBayes
This paper provides an overview and a tutorial of molecular clock dating using MrBayes, which is a software for Bayesian inference of phylogeny. Two modern approaches, total-evidence dating and node dating, are demonstrated using a dataset of Hymenoptera with molecular sequences and morphological characters. The similarity and difference of the two methods are compared and discussed. Besides, a...
متن کاملMelastomeae come full circle: biogeographic reconstruction and molecular clock dating.
Rhexia, with 11 species in the Coastal Plain province of North America, is the only temperate zone endemic of the tropical eudicot family Melastomataceae. It is a member of the only pantropical tribe of that family, Melastomeae. Based on the chloroplast gene ndhF, we use a fossil-calibrated molecular clock to address the question of the geographic origin and age of Rhexia. Sequences from 37 spe...
متن کاملDating the molecular clock in fungi – how close are we?
Integration of fungal evolution with the dates of plate tectonic movements, paleoecology, and the evolution of plants and animals requires a molecular clock. Imperfect though they may be, molecular clocks provide the means to convert molecular change into geological time. The relationships among clocks, phylogeography, fossils, and substitution rate variation, along with incorporation of uncert...
