The new framework for understanding placental mammal evolution
An unprecedented level of confidence has recently crystallized around a new hypothesis of
how living placental mammals share a pattern of common descent. The major groups are …

[HTML][HTML] Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history
Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are
fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is …

The gene tree delusion
MS Springer, J Gatesy - Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2016 - Elsevier
Higher-level relationships among placental mammals are mostly resolved, but several
polytomies remain contentious. Song et al.(2012) claimed to have resolved three of these …

Phylogenetically informed analysis of the allometry of mammalian basal metabolic rate supports neither geometric nor quarter-power scaling
The form of the relationship between the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and body mass (M) of
mammals has been at issue for almost seven decades, with debate focusing on the value of …

Resolution of a concatenation/coalescence kerfuffle: partitioned coalescence support and a robust family‐level tree for Mammalia
Recent phylogenetic analyses of a large dataset for mammalian families (169 taxa, 26 loci)
portray contrasting results. Supermatrix (concatenation) methods support a generally robust …

Waking the undead: Implications of a soft explosive model for the timing of placental mammal diversification
The explosive, long fuse, and short fuse models represent competing hypotheses for the
timing of placental mammal diversification. Support for the explosive model, which posits …
