presentation, part 1 - Molecular Evolution

Lessons learned (a few):• Multiple calibrations essential; single calibrationsalways (in our study) systematicallyunderestimated dates across the tree• estimating partition-specific parameters has abig impact on date estimation --- presumablyincreasing accuracy• the model matters (a lot!)• the model and the data have much larger impactthan the method (e.g., ML versus Bayesian)
