Over the last decade, molecular systematics has undergone a change of paradigm as high-
throughput sequencing now makes it possible to reconstruct evolutionary relationships …

The availability of whole genome sequences was expected to supply essentially unlimited
data for phylogenetics. However, strict reliance on single-copy genes for this purpose has …

The tropics are the source of most biodiversity yet inadequate sampling obscures answers to
fundamental questions about how this diversity evolves. We leveraged samples assembled …

We implement two measures for quantifying genealogical concordance in phylogenomic
data sets: the gene concordance factor (gCF) and the novel site concordance factor (sCF) …

Fungi in the class Leotiomycetes are ecologically diverse, including mycorrhizas,
endophytes of roots and leaves, plant pathogens, aquatic and aero-aquatic hyphomycetes …

With the increasing availability of whole genome data, many species trees are being
constructed from hundreds to thousands of loci. Although concatenation analysis using …

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 …

Understanding the phylogenetic relationships among the yeasts of the subphylum
Saccharomycotina is a prerequisite for understanding the evolution of their metabolisms and …

Dire wolves are considered to be one of the most common and widespread large carnivores
in Pleistocene America, yet relatively little is known about their evolution or extinction. Here …

The phylogeny and evolution of weevils (the beetle superfamily Curculionoidea) has been
extensively studied, but many relationships, especially in the large family Curculionidae …
