Estimating divergence dates and evaluating dating methods using phylogenomic and mitochondrial data in squamate reptiles

Mulcahy, Daniel G.; Noonan, Brice P.; Moss, Travis; Townsend, Ted M.; Reeder, Tod W.; Sites, Jack W., Jr.; Wiens, John J. (2012)

Recently, phylogenetics has expanded to routinely include estimation of clade ages in addition to their relationships. Various dating methods have been used, but their relative performance remains understudied. Here, we ...

Evidence of two deeply divergent co-existing mitochondrial genomes in the Tuatara reveals an extremely complex genomic organization

Macey, J. Robert; Pabinger, Stephan; Barbieri, Charles G.; Buring, Ella S.; González, Vanessa L.; Mulcahy, Daniel G.; DeMeo, Dustin P.; Urban, Lara; Hime, Paul M.; Prost, Stefan; Elliott, Aaron N.; Gemmell, Neil J. (2021)

Animal mitochondrial genomic polymorphism occurs as low-level mitochondrial heteroplasmy and deeply divergent co-existing molecules. The latter is rare, known only in bivalvian mollusks. Here we show two deeply divergent ...
