Molecular phylogeny and evolution of the Asian lineage of vole genus Microtus (Rodentia: Arvicolinae) inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome b sequence (2010, methodology): “Rate heterogeneity among taxa was determined with the use of hierarchical likelihood ratio tests as implemented in PAML, version 4.0 (Yang, 2007) and relative-rate tests as implemented in RRTree (Robinson et al., 1998; Robinson-Rechavi & Huchon, 2000).”
The Lake Tanganyika cichlid species assemblage: recent advances in molecular phylogenetics (2008, background): “However, tests for rate-constancy (e.g., Takezaki et al., 1995; Robinson-Rechavi & Huchon, 2000) might fail to detect small gradual changes of substitution rates and thus, the resulting age estimates might be biased.”
A molecular approach to biodiversity and biogeography in the planktonic foraminifer Globigerinella siphonifera (d’Orbigny) (2002, methodology): “Relative rate tests (RRT) were performed using the RRTree program version 1.1 (Robinson-Rechavi and Huchon, 2000) in order to detect (1) if one or several of the phylogenetic clusters in the tree evolved signi¢cantly faster than other(s) and (2) which individual sequence may have an abnormal rate…”
