(2009) reconstructed the evolutionary history of diversification in weevils using DNA sequence data from 6 genes (EF-1[alpha], CAD, AK, 28S, 18S, and COI) for 135 genera representing all families and subfamilies of Curculionoidea. Divergence times derived from the combined molecular and fossil data were coestimated with phylogeny using the Bayesian relaxed molecular clock method (Drummond et al., 2006) in the program BEAST (3).
