On the role of tectonics in stimulating the Cretaceous diversification of mammals
Mammals rose to prominence in terrestrial ecosystems after the Cretaceous–Paleogene
mass extinction, but the mammalian lineages characteristic of Paleogene faunas began their …

[HTML][HTML] A time-calibrated 'Tree of Life'of aquatic insects for knitting historical patterns of evolution and measuring extant phylogenetic biodiversity across the world
The extent to which the sequence and timing of important events on Earth have influenced
biological evolution through geological time is a matter of ongoing debate. In this context …

Relict duck-billed dinosaurs survived into the last age of the dinosaurs in subantarctic Chile
In the dusk of the Mesozoic, advanced duck-billed dinosaurs (Hadrosauridae) were so
successful that they likely outcompeted other herbivores, contributing to declines in dinosaur …

Genomes of the Orestias pupfish from the Andean Altiplano shed light on their evolutionary history and phylogenetic relationships within Cyprinodontiformes
P Morales, F Gajardo, C Valdivieso, MA Valladares… - BMC genomics, 2024 - Springer
Background To unravel the evolutionary history of a complex group, a comprehensive
reconstruction of its phylogenetic relationships is crucial. This requires meticulous taxon …

Colonization of the ocean floor by jawless vertebrates across three mass extinctions
CD Brownstein, TJ Near - BMC ecology and evolution, 2024 - Springer
Abstract Background The deep (> 200 m) ocean floor is often considered to be a refugium of
biodiversity; many benthic marine animals appear to share ancient common ancestry with …

Mechanistic phylodynamic models do not provide conclusive evidence that non-avian dinosaurs were in decline before their final extinction
Phylodynamic models can be used to estimate diversification trajectories from time-
calibrated phylogenies. Here we apply two such models to phylogenies of non-avian …
