Reply to Hedges et al.: Accurate timetrees do indeed require accurate calibrations [Biological Sciences]

We (1) attempted to establish an evolutionary timescale for land plant evolution utilizing available genome-scale data and a new set of calibrations constraining the age of clades based on critical analysis of paleontologic, phylogenetic (2), and geologic evidence. We explored many factors, such as the inclusion or exclusion of a...
