The influence of body size and net diversification rate on molecular evolution during the radiation of animal phyla

BACKGROUND: Molecular clock dates, which place the origin of animal phyla deep in the Precambrian, have been used to reject the hypothesis of a rapid evolutionary radiation of animal phyla supported by the fossil record. One possible explanation of the discrepancy is the potential for fast substitut...
