Hylidae is a large family of American, Australopapuan, and temperate Eurasian treefrogs of
approximately 870 known species, divided among four subfamilies. Although some groups …

The history of long‐branch attraction, and in particular methods suggested to detect and
avoid the artifact to date, is reviewed. Methods suggested to avoid LBA‐artifacts include …

Phylogenomics, the use of large-scale data matrices in phylogenetic analyses, has been
viewed as the ultimate solution to the problem of resolving difficult nodes in the tree of life …

We revisit statistical tests for branches of evolutionary trees reconstructed upon molecular
data. A new, fast, approximate likelihood-ratio test (aLRT) for branches is presented here as …

The advent and maturation of algorithms for estimating species trees—phylogenetic trees
that allow gene tree heterogeneity and whose tips represent lineages, populations and …

It is thought that speciation in phytophagous insects is often due to colonization of novel host
plants, because radiations of plant and insect lineages are typically asynchronous. Recent …

Studies of evolution at the molecular level have experienced phenomenal growth in the last
few decades, due to rapid accumulation of genetic sequence data, improved computer …

In recent years, avian systematics has been characterized by a diminished reliance on
morphological cladistics of modern taxa, intensive palaeornithogical research stimulated by …

Killifishes (Cyprinodontiformes) are a group of fish that include a high proportion of small-
bodied species living in seasonal aquatic habitats, with narrow geographical distributions …

Trifolium, the clover genus, is one of the largest genera of the legume family. We conducted
parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ribosomal DNA internal …
