DNA data has been widely used in animal phylogenetic studies over the past 15 years. Here
we review how these studies have used advances in knowledge of molecular evolutionary …

▪ 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 …

We develop a reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo approach to estimating the
posterior distribution of phylogenies based on aligned DNA/RNA sequences under several …

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

We surveyed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation in the subfamily
Xenocyprinae from China and used these data to estimate intraspecific, interspecific, and …

Sequence data for two segments of 28S and Histone H3 from 36 gastropod taxa, a chiton,
two bivalves and Nautilus are used to test recently published morphology‐based …

Background Model selection is a vital part of most phylogenetic analyses, and accounting for
the heterogeneity in evolutionary patterns across sites is particularly important. Mixture …

Molecular phylogenetic studies are making increasing use of partitioned Bayesian analyses
via software tools like MrBayes, version 3 (Ronquist and Huelsenbeck, 2003). Data …

Scleractinian corals have long been assumed to be a monophyletic group characterized by
the possession of an aragonite skeleton. Analyses of skeletal morphology and molecular …

Simple Summary The ability to identify the source of vertebrate blood in mosquitoes, ticks,
and other blood-feeding arthropod vectors greatly enhances our knowledge of how vector …
