(Coordinators: Hedges and Kumar)
Members of the TimeTree Consortium (TTC) are experts in the
field of
divergence time estimation, or related fields. Each of the
researchers
listed below is contributing a chapter to Timetree of Life
(S. B. Hedges and
S. Kumar, Editors) to be published in 2008 by Oxford University
Press. Those
chapters will be made available here, and those timetrees will
be
incorporated in the Timetree database.
