Fossils matter: improved estimates of divergence times in Pinus reveal older diversification

BACKGROUND: The taxonomy of pines (genus Pinus) is widely accepted and a robust gene tree based on entire plastome sequences exists. However, there is a large discrepancy in estimated divergence times of major pine clades among existing studies, mainly due to differences in fossil placement and dati...
