Local molecular clocks in three nuclear genes: divergence times for rodents and other mammals and incompatibility among fossil calibrations

Reconstructing the chronology of mammalian evolution is a debated issue between molecule- and fossil-based inferences. A methodological limitation of molecules is the evolutionary rate variation among lineages, precluding the application of the global molecular clock. We considered 2422 first and se...
