A new time tree reveals Earth history's imprint on the evolution of modern birds
S Claramunt, J Cracraft - Science advances, 2015 - science.org
Determining the timing of diversification of modern birds has been difficult. We combined
DNA sequences of clock-like genes for most avian families with 130 fossil birds to generate …

Convergent regulatory evolution and loss of flight in paleognathous birds
A core question in evolutionary biology is whether convergent phenotypic evolution is driven
by convergent molecular changes in proteins or regulatory regions. We combined …

Avoiding missing data biases in phylogenomic inference: an empirical study in the landfowl (Aves: Galliformes)
Production of massive DNA sequence data sets is transforming phylogenetic inference, but
best practices for analyzing such data sets are not well established. One uncertainty is …

Interpreting the modern distribution of Myrtaceae using a dated molecular phylogeny
The angiosperm family Myrtaceae has extant and fossil taxa from all southern continents
and is assumed to be of Gondwanan origin. Many modern groups contain sister taxa that …
