A global phylogeny of turtles reveals a burst of climate-associated diversification on continental margins
RC Thomson, PQ Spinks… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Living turtles are characterized by extraordinarily low species diversity given their age. The
clade's extensive fossil record indicates that climate and biogeography may have played …

A phylogeny and revised classification of Squamata, including 4161 species of lizards and snakes
Background The extant squamates (> 9400 known species of lizards and snakes) are one of
the most diverse and conspicuous radiations of terrestrial vertebrates, but no studies have …

A species-level phylogeny of extant snakes with description of a new colubrid subfamily and genus
Background With over 3,500 species encompassing a diverse range of morphologies and
ecologies, snakes make up 36% of squamate diversity. Despite several attempts at …

A large-scale phylogeny of Amphibia including over 2800 species, and a revised classification of extant frogs, salamanders, and caecilians
The extant amphibians are one of the most diverse radiations of terrestrial vertebrates (>
6800 species). Despite much recent focus on their conservation, diversification, and …

Rates of speciation and morphological evolution are correlated across the largest vertebrate radiation
Several evolutionary theories predict that rates of morphological change should be
positively associated with the rate at which new species arise. For example, the theory of …

Modeling stabilizing selection: expanding the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck model of adaptive evolution
Comparative methods used to study patterns of evolutionary change in a continuous trait on
a phylogeny range from Brownian motion processes to models where the trait is assumed to …

Three crocodilian genomes reveal ancestral patterns of evolution among archosaurs
INTRODUCTION Crocodilians and birds are the two extant clades of archosaurs, a group
that includes the extinct dinosaurs and pterosaurs. Fossils suggest that living crocodilians …

Building megaphylogenies for macroecology: taking up the challenge
The last decades have seen an upsurge in ecological studies incorporating phylogenetic
information with increasing species samples, motivated by the common conjecture that …

Pruning rogue taxa improves phylogenetic accuracy: an efficient algorithm and webservice
The presence of rogue taxa (rogues) in a set of trees can frequently have a negative impact
on the results of a bootstrap analysis (eg, the overall support in consensus trees). We …
