The time is past when a research program in systematics should be based on only a few
genes, extant taxa, and ultrametric trees. Cheap genome sequencing, powerful statistical …

Frogs (Anura) are one of the most diverse groups of vertebrates and comprise nearly 90% of
living amphibian species. Their worldwide distribution and diverse biology make them well …

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 …

Large-scale, time-calibrated phylogenies from supermatrix studies have become crucial for
evolutionary and ecological studies in many groups of organisms. However, in frogs (anuran …

The advent of next-generation sequencing technology has allowed for thecollection of large
portions of the genome for phylogenetic analysis. Hybrid enrichment and transcriptomics are …

Based on a recent molecular phylogenetic study, the South Asian microhylid genus
Uperodon (subfamily Microhylinae) currently comprises of 12 valid species that are largely …

We infer phylogenetic relationships within Teioidea, a superfamily of Nearctic and
Neotropical lizards, using nucleotide sequences. Phylogenetic analyses relied on …

Phylogenomic approaches have proven able to resolve difficult branches in the tree of life.
New World direct-developing frogs (Terraranae) represent a large evolutionary radiation in …

The diverse, largely Neotropical subtribe Euptychiina is widely regarded as one of the most
taxonomically challenging groups among all butterflies. Over the last two decades …

Frogs of the genus Microhyla include some of the world's smallest amphibians and
represent the largest radiation of Asian microhylids, currently encompassing 50 species …
