The clade Pancrustacea, comprising crustaceans and hexapods, is the most diverse group
of animals on earth, containing over 80% of animal species and half of animal biomass. It …

Characterizing the population history of a species and identifying loci underlying local
adaptation is crucial in functional ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation and …

The rich diversity of morphology and behavior displayed across primate species provides an
informative context in which to study the impact of genomic diversity on fundamental …

High-throughput sequencing projects generate genome-scale sequence data for species-
level phylogenies,–. However, state-of-the-art Bayesian methods for inferring timetrees are …

Genome-scale sequence data have invigorated the study of hybridization and introgression,
particularly in animals. However, outside of a few notable cases, we lack systematic tests for …

The precise pattern and timing of speciation events that gave rise to all living placental
mammals remain controversial. We provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of …

The evolution of cetaceans, from their early transition to an aquatic lifestyle to their
subsequent diversification, has been the subject of numerous studies. However, although …

Molecular phylogenies have yielded strong support for many parts of the amphibian Tree of
Life, but poor support for the resolution of deeper nodes, including relationships among …

Plant genomes remain highly fragmented and are often characterized by hundreds to
thousands of assembly gaps. Here, we report chromosome-level reference and phased …

Members of Polygonatum are perennial herbs that have been widely used in traditional
Chinese medicine to invigorate Qi, moisten the lung, and benefit the kidney and spleen …
