Internal fossil constraints have more effect on the age estimates of crown Palaeognathae than different phylogenomic data type by Alexandre Pedro Selvatti, Naoko Takezaki

“…The age estimates were more influenced by calibration strategy than data type, although some nuclear data (CNEE) produced substantially younger ages except for the Casuariiformes node, whilst another dataset (PRM) from a previous study estimated younger ages for Casuariiformes compared to the other datasets. …”
