As more complete genomes are sequenced, phylogenetic analysis is entering a new era—
that of phylogenomics. One branch of this expanding field aims to reconstruct the …

▪ Abstract Insect molecular systematics has undergone remarkable recent growth. Advances
in methods of data generation and analysis have led to the accumulation of large amounts of …

The long-awaited revision of the industry standard on phylogenetics Since the publication of
the first edition of this landmark volume more than twenty-five years ago, phylogenetic …

Following our traditional concept of Mammalia, and thus including a number of forms known
only by fossils of the Mesozoic, the earliest mammals are from the Late Triassic, a bit over …

Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses were conducted to address the evolution of
Clavicipitaceae (Ascomycota). Data are presented here for approximately 5900 base pairs …

Cladistics aims to reconstruct genealogies based on common ancestry, thus revealing the
phylogenetic relationships between taxa. Its applications vary from linguistic analysis to the …

Four molecular data sets are available for the diploid intersterile genera of the cereal grain
tribe Triticeae, and there are numerous differences among the four published trees. All six …

Large datasets are required to solve difficult phylogenetic problems that are deep in the Tree
of Life. Currently, two divergent systematic methods are commonly applied to such datasets …

Advocates of conditional combination have argued that testing for incongruence between
data partitions is an important step in data exploration. Unless the partitions have had …

The field of systematic biology has been revitalized and transformed during the last few
decades by the confluence of phylogenetic thinking with ready access to the tools of …
