Inferring the mammal tree: species-level sets of phylogenies for questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation
Big, time-scaled phylogenies are fundamental to connecting evolutionary processes to
modern biodiversity patterns. Yet inferring reliable phylogenetic trees for thousands of …

An inverse latitudinal gradient in speciation rate for marine fishes
Far more species of organisms are found in the tropics than in temperate and polar regions,
but the evolutionary and ecological causes of this pattern remain controversial 1, 2. Tropical …

The interplay of past diversification and evolutionary isolation with present imperilment across the amphibian tree of life
Human activities continue to erode the tree of life, requiring us to prioritize research and
conservation. Amphibians represent key victims and bellwethers of global change, and the …

Fully-sampled phylogenies of squamates reveal evolutionary patterns in threat status
Macroevolutionary rates of diversification and anthropogenic extinction risk differ vastly
throughout the Tree of Life. This results in a highly heterogeneous distribution of …

An enhanced target-enrichment bait set for Hexacorallia provides phylogenomic resolution of the staghorn corals (Acroporidae) and close relatives
Targeted enrichment of genomic DNA can profoundly increase the phylogenetic resolution
of clades and inform taxonomy. Here, we redesign a custom bait set previously developed …
