Abstract
- Model choice can have an influence on molecular divergence time estimates.
- For rDNA paired regions this has only been investigated once.
- I reinvestigate this issue using empirical data.
- Ignoring structure biases age estimates but this is negligible in a Bayesian setting.
- The bias is not randomly distributed across nodes.
