Phylogenetic relationships of the primarily wingless insects are still considered unresolved.
Even the most comprehensive phylogenomic studies that addressed this question did not …

Spiny‐backed tree frogs of the genus O steocephalus are conspicuous components of the
tropical wet forests of the A mazon and the G uiana S hield. Here, we revise the phylogenetic …

Despite the promise that molecular data would provide a seemingly unlimited source of
independent characters, many plant phylogenetic studies are still based on only two …

Both traditional as well as 10 more recent methods of coding characters from exons of
protein‐coding genes are reviewed. The more recent methods collectively blur the …

increased relative to previous norms, particularly in supermatrix studies that compile …

It has recently been concluded that phylogenomic data from 310 nuclear genes support the
clade of (Amborellales, Nymphaeales) as sister to the remaining angiosperms and that …
