The family Fringillidae is a taxon that includes the true finches. Let’s see what is known about their time of divergence.
DateLife searches its chronogram database using species names standardized to a unified taxonomy constructed by the Open Tree of Life project.
When working with taxon names above the species level in DateLife, the first step is to obtain all species names belonging to the taxon of interest.
We will get all species names belonging to the family Fringillidae, using the flag get_spp_from_taxon = TRUE from the function datelife::make_datelife_query():
dquery <- datelife::make_datelife_query(input = "fringillidae",
get_spp_from_taxon = TRUE)
#> ... Making a DateLife query.
#> ... Phylo-processing 'input'.
#> 'input' is not a phylogeny.

#> Input taxon names were found in 19 chronograms.Results from the chronogram search are returned as a datelifeResult object, which is a named list of patristic matrices. Each element of the list corresponds to a chronogram that has been translated to a distance matrix or patristic matrix. The main reason for this is that pruning is much faster on a matrix than on a phylo object:
