Biodiversity today has the unusual property that 85% of plant and animal species live on
land rather than in the sea, and half of these live in tropical rainforests. An explosive boost to …

Tropical Africa is home to an astonishing biodiversity occurring in a variety of ecosystems.
Past climatic change and geological events have impacted the evolution and diversification …

Abstract The Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software has matured to
contain a large collection of methods and tools of computational molecular evolution. Here …

High-quality and complete reference genome assemblies are fundamental for the
application of genomics to biology, disease, and biodiversity conservation. However, such …

The germline mutation rate determines the pace of genome evolution and is an evolving
parameter itself. However, little is known about what determines its evolution, as most …

Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By
aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect …

Big, time-scaled phylogenies are fundamental to connecting evolutionary processes to
modern biodiversity patterns. Yet inferring reliable phylogenetic trees for thousands of …

The rich diversity of morphology and behavior displayed across primate species provides an
informative context in which to study the impact of genomic diversity on fundamental …

High-throughput sequencing projects generate genome-scale sequence data for species-
level phylogenies,–. However, state-of-the-art Bayesian methods for inferring timetrees are …

Angiosperms are by far the most species-rich clade of land plants, but their origin and early
evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny …
