Similar traits and functions commonly evolve in nature. Here, we explore patterns of
replicated evolution across the plant kingdom and discuss the processes responsible for …

Despite substantial progress in understanding the genetic basis for differences in
morphology, physiology, and behavior, many phenotypes of interest are difficult to study with …

Phylogenetic analysis is complicated by interspecific gene flow and the presence of shared
ancestral polymorphisms, particularly those maintained by balancing selection. In this study …

Genomic data has opened new possibilities to understand how organisms change over
time, and could enable the discovery of previously undescribed species. Although taxonomy …

Key innovations are fundamental to biological diversification, but their genetic basis is poorly
understood. A recent transition from egg-laying to live-bearing in marine snails (Littorina …

ABSTRACT Building the Tree of Life (ToL) is a major challenge of modern biology, requiring
advances in cyberinfrastructure, data collection, theory, and more. Here, we argue that …

Evolutionary biologists have long been fascinated with the episodes of rapid phenotypic
innovation that underlie the emergence of major lineages. Although our understanding of …

Many Drosophila species differ widely in their distributions and climate niches, making them
excellent subjects for evolutionary genomic studies. Here, we have developed a database of …

Introgression is an important biological process affecting at least 10% of the extant species
in the animal kingdom. Introgression significantly impacts inference of phylogenetic species …

Phylogenetic comparative methods have long been a mainstay of evolutionary biology,
allowing for the study of trait evolution across species while accounting for their common …
