Modern attempts to produce biogeographic maps focus on the distribution of species, and
the maps are typically drawn without phylogenetic considerations. Here, we generate a …

We comprehensively reviewed information on maximum life spans of wild birds (based on
banding recoveries) and nine ecological, physiological and behavioral variables that have …

Phylogenomics, the use of large-scale data matrices in phylogenetic analyses, has been
viewed as the ultimate solution to the problem of resolving difficult nodes in the tree of life …

Deep avian evolutionary relationships have been difficult to resolve as a result of a putative
explosive radiation. Our study examined∼ 32 kilobases of aligned nuclear DNA sequences …

Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses were conducted to address the evolution of
Clavicipitaceae (Ascomycota). Data are presented here for approximately 5900 base pairs …

Appropriate and extensive taxon sampling is one of the most important determinants of
accurate phylogenetic estimation. In addition, accuracy of inferences about evolutionary …

In recent years, avian systematics has been characterized by a diminished reliance on
morphological cladistics of modern taxa, intensive palaeornithogical research stimulated by …

Systematics and Taxonomy of Australian Birds presents an up-to-date classification of
Australian birds. Building on the authors 1994 book, The Taxonomy and Species of Birds of …

Resolving the relationships between Metazoa and other eukaryotic groups as well as
between metazoan phyla is central to the understanding of the origin and evolution of …

The analysis of ancient DNA is playing an increasingly important role in conservation
genetic, phylogenetic and population genetic analyses, as it allows incorporating extinct …
