The use of DNA sequence data in systematic studies has brought about a revolution in our
understanding of avian relationships and when combined with digitized distributional data …

Abstract During the last 15–20 years, phylogenetic, phylogeographic, paleontological,
geological, and habitat modeling studies have improved our knowledge of Sundaic …

Modern attempts to produce biogeographic maps focus on the distribution of species, and
the maps are typically drawn without phylogenetic considerations. Here, we generate a …

The first edition of this book was written at a time when comprehensive analyses of
molecular sequence data just began to provide a robust framework for the interrelationships …

Production of massive DNA sequence data sets is transforming phylogenetic inference, but
best practices for analyzing such data sets are not well established. One uncertainty is …

A synergistic combination of two next-generation sequencing platforms with a detailed
comparative BAC physical contig map provided a cost-effective assembly of the genome …

Systematics and Taxonomy of Australian Birds presents an up-to-date classification of
Australian birds. Building on the authors 1994 book, The Taxonomy and Species of Birds of …

Rapid evolutionary radiations are expected to require large amounts of sequence data to
resolve. To resolve these types of relationships many systematists believe that it will be …

Background Divergence time estimation is fundamental to understanding many aspects of
the evolution of organisms, such as character evolution, diversification, and biogeography …

Building taxon-rich phylogenies is foundational for macroevolutionary studies. One
approach to improve taxon sampling beyond individual studies is to build supermatricies of …
