Phylogenetic analysis at deep timescales: unreliable gene trees, bypassed hidden support, and the coalescence/concatalescence conundrum
J Gatesy, MS Springer - Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2014 - Elsevier
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 …

The evolution of annelids reveals two adaptive routes to the interstitial realm
Many animals permanently inhabit the marine interstitium, the space between sand grains
[1, 2]. Different evolutionary scenarios may explain the existence of interstitial animals [3, 4] …

The impact of missing data on species tree estimation
Phylogeneticists are increasingly assembling genome-scale data sets that include hundreds
of genes to resolve their focal clades. Although these data sets commonly include a …

DNA barcodes combined with multilocus data of representative taxa can generate reliable higher-level phylogenies
Taxa are frequently labeled incertae sedis when their placement is debated at ranks above
the species level, such as their subgeneric, generic, or subtribal placement. This is a …

The impact of anchored phylogenomics and taxon sampling on phylogenetic inference in narrow‐mouthed frogs (Anura, Microhylidae)
Despite considerable progress in unravelling the phylogenetic relationships of microhylid
frogs, relationships among subfamilies remain largely unstable and many genera are not …
