🚨 #PREPRINT ALERT 🚨 Do gaps in the #fossil record bias phylogenetic inference? And do priors on gap duration improve estimates? Surprising results from the intersection of #stratigraphy, #paleontology and #phylogeny @rachelwarnock.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/n

Phylogenetic inference from an incomplete fossil record

Fossil data is crucial to construct phylogenetic time trees, which serve as the basis to test a wide range of evolutionary hypotheses. While the fossil record is known to be incomplete, modern stratig...
