Paleozoic diversification of terrestrial chitin-degrading bacterial lineages
Abstract Background Establishing the divergence times of groups of organisms is a major goal of evolutionary biology. This is especially challenging for microbial lineages due to the near-absence of preserved physical evidence (diagnostic body fossils or geochemical biomarkers). Horizontal gene tran...
