As more complete genomes are sequenced, phylogenetic analysis is entering a new era—
that of phylogenomics. One branch of this expanding field aims to reconstruct the …

Recent excitement over the development of an initiative to generate DNA sequences for all
named species on the planet has in our opinion generated two major areas of contention as …

We combined new sequence data for more than 300 muroid rodent species with our
previously published sequences for up to five nuclear and one mitochondrial genes to …

Background Development of phylogenetic methods that do not rely on fossils for the study of
evolutionary processes through time have revolutionized the field of evolutionary biology …

Large datasets are required to solve difficult phylogenetic problems that are deep in the Tree
of Life. Currently, two divergent systematic methods are commonly applied to such datasets …

Multiple mating or group spawning leads to post‐copulatory sexual selection, which
generally favours ejaculates that are more competitive under sperm competition. In four …

True crocodiles (Crocodylus) are the most broadly distributed, ecologically diverse, and
species‐rich crocodylian genus, comprising about half of extant crocodylian diversity and …

Recent reviews of the construction of large phylogenies have focused on supertree methods
that involve separate analyses of data sets and subsequent integration of the resulting trees …

Background Plant-feeding insects make up a large part of earth's total biodiversity. While it
has been shown that herbivory has repeatedly led to increased diversification rates in …

▪ Abstract The continuous flow of genomic data is creating unprecedented opportunities for
the reconstruction of molecular phylogenies. Access to whole-genome data means that …
