	abstract = {The use of genomic data and the rise of phylogenomics have radically changed our view of the eukaryotic tree of life at a high taxonomic level by identifying four to six "supergroups". Yet our understanding of the evolution of key innovations within each of these supergroups is limited because of poor species sampling relative to the massive diversity encompassed by each supergroup. Here we apply a multigene approach that incorporates a wide taxonomic diversity to infer the timeline of the emergence of strategic evolutionary transitions in the haptophytes, a group of ecologically and biogeochemically significant marine protists that belong to the Chromalveolata supergroup. Four genes (SSU, LSU, tufA and rbcL) were extensively analyzed under several Bayesian models to assess the robustness of the phylogeny, particularly with respect to (i) data partitioning, (ii) the origin of the genes (host vs. endosymbiont), (iii) across-site rate variation and (iv) across-lineage rate variation. We show with a relaxed clock analysis that the origin of haptophytes dates back to 824 MYA (95\% highest probability density 1031-637 MYA). Our dating results show that the ability to calcify evolved earlier than previously thought, between 329-291 MYA, in the Carboniferous period, and that the transition from mixotrophy to autotrophy occurred during the same time period. Although these two transitions precede a habitat change of major diversities from coastal / neritic waters to the pelagic realm (291-243 MYA, around the P/Tr boundary event), the emergence of calcification, full autotrophy and oceanic lifestyle seem mutually independent.},
