  abstract = {{M}urid rodents ({R}odentia: {M}uridae) represent the most diverse and abundant mammalian family. {I}n this study, we provide a refined set of fossil calibrations which is used to reconstruct a dated phylogeny of the family using a multilocus dataset (six nuclear and nine mitochondrial gene fragments) encompassing 161 species representing 82 murid genera from four extant subfamilies ({D}eomyinae, {G}erbillinae, {L}ophiomyinae and {M}urinae). {I}n comparison with previous studies on murid or muroid rodents, our work stands out for the implementation of nine robust fossil constraints within the {M}uridae thanks to a thorough review of the fossil record. {B}efore being assigned to specific nodes of the phylogeny, all potential fossil constraints were carefully assessed; they were also subjected to several cross-validation analyses. {T}he resulting phylogeny is consistent with previous phylogenetic studies on murids, and recovers the monophyly of all sampled murid subfamilies and tribes. {B}ased on nine controlled fossil calibrations, our inferred temporal timeframe indicates that the murid family likely originated in the course of the {E}arly {M}iocene, 22.0-17.0 million years ago ({M}a), and that most major lineages (i.e. tribes) started diversifying ca. 10 {M}a. {H}istorical biogeography analyses support the tropical origin for the family, with an initial internal split (vicariance event) between {A}frotropical and {O}riental ({I}ndomalaya and {P}hilippines) lineages. {D}uring the course of their diversification, the biogeographic pattern of murids is marked by several dispersal events toward the {A}ustralasian and the {P}alearctic regions. {T}he {A}frotropical region was also secondarily colonized a least three times from the {I}ndomalaya, indicating that the latter region has acted as a major centre of diversification for the family.},
