The role of the uplift of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas
Biodiversity is unevenly distributed on Earth and hotspots of biodiversity are often
associated with areas that have undergone orogenic activity during recent geological history …

Molecular‐clock methods for estimating evolutionary rates and timescales
The molecular clock presents a means of estimating evolutionary rates and timescales using
genetic data. These estimates can lead to important insights into evolutionary processes and …

Rounding up the usual suspects: a standard target‐gene approach for resolving the interfamilial phylogenetic relationships of ecribellate orb‐weaving spiders with a …
We test the limits of the spider superfamily Araneoidea and reconstruct its interfamilial
relationships using standard molecular markers. The taxon sample (363 terminals) …
