Estimating Absolute Rates of Molecular Evolution and Divergence Times: A Penalized Likelihood Approach
TL;DR: A semiparametric smoothing method is developed using penalized likelihood, a saturated model in which every lineage has a separate rate combined with a roughness penalty that discourages rates from varying too much across a phylogeny.
r8s: inferring absolute rates of molecular evolution and divergence times in the absence of a molecular clock
TL;DR: R8s version 1.5 is a program which uses parametric, nonparametric and semiparametric methods to relax the assumption of constant rates of evolution to obtain better estimates of rates and times.

TL;DR: The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long-known non-monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported monophyletic subfamilies and reflects the phylogenetic structure that is consistently resolved.

Absolute diversification rates in angiosperm clades
TL;DR: The phylogenetic distribution of clades with an exceedingly high number of species suggests that traits that confer high rates of diversification evolved independently in different instances and do not characterize the angiosperms as a whole.
