Phylogenomics, biogeography, and evolution of morphology and ecological niche of the eastern Asian–eastern North American Nyssa (Nyssaceae)
Abstract Nyssa (Nyssaceae, Cornales) represents a classical example of the well‐known
eastern Asian–eastern North American floristic disjunction. The genus consists of three …

[图书][B] Testing character evolution models in phylogenetic paleobiology: a case study with Cambrian echinoderms
Macroevolutionary inference has historically been treated as a two-step process, involving
the inference of a tree, and then inference of a macroevolutionary model using that tree …

Bayesian tip dating reveals heterogeneous morphological clocks in Mesozoic birds
Recently, comprehensive morphological datasets including nearly all the well-recognized
Mesozoic birds became available, making it feasible for statistically rigorous methods to …

Bayesian estimation of species divergence times using correlated quantitative characters
Discrete morphological data have been widely used to study species evolution, but the use
of quantitative (or continuous) morphological characters is less common. Here, we …

Including autapomorphies is important for paleontological tip-dating with clocklike data, but not with non-clock data
Tip-dating, where fossils are included as dated terminal taxa in Bayesian dating inference, is
an increasingly popular method. Data for these studies often come from morphological …

Homoplasy-based partitioning outperforms alternatives in Bayesian analysis of discrete morphological data
Bayesian analysis of morphological data is becoming increasingly popular mainly (but not
only) because it allows for time-calibrated phylogenetic inference using relaxed …

Rocks and clocks revised: new promises and challenges in dating the primate tree of life
In recent years, multiple technological and methodological advances have increased our
ability to estimate phylogenies, leading to more accurate dating of the primate tree of life …

Putting the F into FBD analysis: tree constraints or morphological data?
The fossilized birth–death (FBD) process provides an ideal model for inferring phylogenies
from both extant and fossil taxa. Using this approach, fossils are directly integrated into the …
