Insights from empirical analyses and simulations on using multiple fossil calibrations with relaxed clocks to estimate divergence times
Relaxed clock methods account for among-branch-rate-variation when estimating divergence times by inferring different rates for individual branches. In order to infer different rates for individual branches, important assumptions are required. This is because molecular sequence data do not provide d...
