The history of long‐branch attraction, and in particular methods suggested to detect and
avoid the artifact to date, is reviewed. Methods suggested to avoid LBA‐artifacts include …

Cave animals have historically attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists because of
their bizarre 'regressive'characters and convergent evolution. However, understanding of …

It is thought that speciation in phytophagous insects is often due to colonization of novel host
plants, because radiations of plant and insect lineages are typically asynchronous. Recent …

Chelicerata represents one of the oldest groups of arthropods, with a fossil record extending
to the Cambrian, and is sister group to the remaining extant arthropods, the mandibulates …

Higher-level relationships among catfishes were investigated by parsimony, maximum
likelihood and Bayesian analyses of two nuclear genes across 110 catfish species …

The phylogenetic relationship of the now fully sequenced species Drosophila erecta and D.
yakuba with respect to the D. melanogaster species complex has been a subject of …

Here, I combine previously underutilized models and priors to perform more biologically
realistic phylogenetic inference from morphological data, with an example from squamate …

A phylogeny and timescale derived from analyses of multilocus nuclear DNA sequences for
Holarctic genera of plethodontid salamanders reveal them to be an old radiation whose …

In this study, mitochondrial sequences were used to investigate the relationships among the
major lineages of Arthropoda. The data matrix used for the analyses includes 84 taxa and …

Although phylogenetic studies are increasingly utilizing multi-locus datasets, a review of
GenBank data for the Gastropoda indicates a strong bias towards a few short gene …
