It has been known for many years that the mutation rate varies across the genome. However,
only with the advent of large genomic data sets is the full extent of this variation becoming …

This article is an overview of the current knowledge of insect glutathione transferases. Three
major topics are discussed: the glutathione transferase contributions to insecticide …

Previous analyses of relations, divergence times, and diversification patterns among extant
mammalian families have relied on supertree methods and local molecular clocks. We …

Diverse bilaterian clades emerged apparently within a few million years during the early
Cambrian, and various environmental, developmental, and ecological causes have been …

The evolution of the amniotic egg was one of the great evolutionary innovations in the
history of life, freeing vertebrates from an obligatory connection to water and thus permitting …

Diatoms dominate the biomass of phytoplankton in nutrient-rich conditions and form the

The Black Rat (Rattus rattus) spread out of Asia to become one of the world's worst
agricultural and urban pests, and a reservoir or vector of numerous zoonotic diseases …

Genomic resources for hundreds of species of evolutionary, agricultural, economic, and
medical importance are unavailable due to the expense of well-assembled genome …

Plants have utterly transformed the planet, but testing hypotheses of causality requires a
reliable time‐scale for plant evolution. While clock methods have been extensively …

The molecular clock provides a powerful way to estimate species divergence times. If
