Speciation in little: the role of range and body size in the diversification of Malagasy mantellid frogs
Background The rate and mode of lineage diversification might be shaped by clade-specific
traits. In Madagascar, many groups of organisms are characterized by tiny distribution …

FrogCap: A modular sequence capture probe‐set for phylogenomics and population genetics for all frogs, assessed across multiple phylogenetic scales
Despite the prevalence of high‐throughput sequencing in phylogenetics, many relationships
remain difficult to resolve because of conflicting signal among genomic regions. Selection of …
