Relaxing the Molecular Clock to Different Degrees for Different Substitution Types

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 32(8), 1948–1961.

By: H. Lee n, N. Rodrigue* & J. Thorne n

author keywords: CpG transition rate; context-dependent substitution; relaxed molecular clock; divergence time estimation
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Clocks / physiology; CpG Islands / physiology; DNA, Intergenic / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Humans; Models, Biological

author keywords: biodiversity; community biomass; data synthesis; ecosystem functioning; grasslands; phylogenetic diversity; relatedness; stability
TL;DR: It is shown that, after statistically controlling for variation in SR, PD (the sum of branches in a molecular phylogenetic tree connecting all species in a community) is neither related to mean community biomass nor to the temporal stability of biomass, run counter to past claims.
