Fossils know it best: Using a new set of fossil calibrations to improve the temporal phylogenetic framework of murid rodents (Rodentia: Muridae)
Abstract
Dated phylogeny of family Muridae using a multilocus dataset. Thorough review of the fossil record and their cross-validation. Implementation of multiple fossil constrains within the Muridae. Origin of the family Muridae during Early Miocene. Dynamic biogeographic scenario with repeated colonisation events in Paleotropics.
