DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0212311
Abstract: When divided by a given mutation rate, the ρ (rho) statistic provides a simple estimator of the age of a clade within a phylogenetic tree by averaging the number of mutations from each sample in… read more here.

Plastome structure, phylogenomic analyses and molecular dating of Arecaceae
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Plant Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.960588
Abstract: Arecaceae is a species-rich clade of Arecales, while also being regarded as a morphologically diverse angiosperm family with numerous species having significant economic, medicinal, and ornamental value. Although in-depth studies focused on the chloroplast structure… read more here.
