Genomes are typically mosaics of regions with different evolutionary histories. When
speciation events are closely spaced in time, recombination makes the regions sharing the …

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are ancient retroviral remnants integrated in host
genomes, and commonly deleted through unequal homologous recombination, leaving …

The family Tephritidae in the order Diptera, known as true fruit flies, are agriculturally
important insect pests. However, the phylogenetic relationships of true fruit flies, remain …

Lithornithidae, an assemblage of volant Palaeogene fossil birds, provide our clearest
insights into the early evolutionary history of Palaeognathae, the clade that today includes …

Passeriformes is the most diverse and globally widespread order of living birds. However,
little work has been done on the phylogenetic relationships within their fossil record. Recent …

Simple Summary As the most diverse vertebrate group, the unique adaptive expansion of
euryhaline fishes is critical to understanding vertebrate evolution. In particular, the high …

Inference of species trees plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of
evolutionary relationships and has immense significance for diverse biological and medical …

Comparative genomic studies in birds have revealed that bird genomes are relatively repeat-
poor and stable in terms of karyotype, size, and gene synteny/collinearity compared to other …

We present a complete, time-scaled, evolutionary tree of the world's bird species. This tree
unites phylogenetic estimates for 9,239 species from 262 studies published between 1990 …
