Inclusion of a near-complete fossil record reveals speciation-related molecular evolution

The rate of genetic evolution is often too variable among lineages to be explained by a strict molecular clock, prompting alternative ecological and evolutionary hypotheses to explain this rate heterogeneity. One controversial hypothesis is that speciation provokes a burst of rapid genetic change, g...
