This paper presents the first complete estimate of the phylogenetic relationships among all
197 species of extant and recently extinct ruminants combining morphological, ethological …

▪ Abstract Supertree construction is a new, rigorous approach for combining phylogenetic
information to produce more inclusive phylogenies. It has been used to provide some of the …

Insights into morphological diversification can be obtained from the ways the species of a
clade occupy morphospace. Projecting a phylogeny into morphospace provides estimates of …

Comparative studies require information on phylogenetic relationships, but complete
species-level phylogenetic trees of large clades are difficult to produce. One solution is to …

A polynomial time supertree algorithm could play a key role in a divide-and-conquer strategy
for assembling the tree of life. To date only a single such method capable of accommodate …

Sexuality and reproductive mode are two fundamental life-history traits that exhibit largely
unexplained macroevolutionary patterns among the major groups of multicellular organisms …

Despite the growing popularity of supertree construction for combining phylogenetic
information to produce more inclusive phylogenies, large-scale performance testing of this …

Le phylum des plathelminthes est traditionellement considéré comme le taxon le plus basal
des organismes bilatéraux. Le problème principal avec ce positionnement est l'absence de …

Multiple data sets are now available for examining the phylogenetic relationships of certain
well-studied taxa. Integrating this information into unified statements of evolutionary history …

The extent to which prokaryotic evolution has been influenced by horizontal gene transfer
(HGT) and therefore might be more of a network than a tree is unclear. Here we use …
