Conceptual and empirical bridges between micro-and macroevolution
Explaining broad molecular, phenotypic and species biodiversity patterns necessitates a
unifying framework spanning multiple evolutionary scales. Here we argue that although …

A nomenclature for fossil and living turtles using phylogenetically defined clade names
Over the last 25 years, researchers, mostly paleontologists, have developed a system of
rank-free, phylogenetically defined names for the primary clades of turtles. As these names …

Increasing information content and diagnosability in family-level classifications
Higher-level classifications often must account for monotypic taxa representing depauperate
evolutionary lineages and lacking synapomorphies of their better-known, well-defined sister …
