Climate change and the past, present, and future of biotic interactions
Biotic interactions drive key ecological and evolutionary processes and mediate ecosystem
responses to climate change. The direction, frequency, and intensity of biotic interactions …

Impacts of the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution and KPg extinction on mammal diversification
Previous analyses of relations, divergence times, and diversification patterns among extant
mammalian families have relied on supertree methods and local molecular clocks. We …

[HTML][HTML] Pattern and timing of diversification of Cetartiodactyla (Mammalia, Laurasiatheria), as revealed by a comprehensive analysis of mitochondrial genomes
The order Cetartiodactyla includes cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) that are
found in all oceans and seas, as well as in some rivers, and artiodactyls (ruminants, pigs …
