High-throughput techniques based on restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADseq)
are enabling the low-cost discovery and genoty** of thousands of genetic markers for any …

Many groups of closely related species have reticulate phylogenies. Recent genomic
analyses are showing this in many insects and vertebrates, as well as in microbes and …

Thanks to the development of high‐throughput sequencing technologies, target enrichment
sequencing of nuclear ultraconserved DNA elements (UCEs) now allows routine inference …

To better determine the history of modern birds, we performed a genome-scale phylogenetic
analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves using phylogenomic methods …

Although massively parallel sequencing has facilitated large-scale DNA sequencing,
comparisons among distantly related species rely upon small portions of the genome that …

The field of phylogenetics is on the cusp of a major revolution, enabled by new methods of
data collection that leverage both genomic resources and recent advances in DNA …

This is a time of unprecedented transition in DNA sequencing technologies. Next-generation
sequencing (NGS) clearly holds promise for fast and cost-effective generation of multilocus …

Avian diversification has been influenced by global climate change, plate tectonic
movements, and mass extinction events. However, the impact of these factors on the …

In recent articles published in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Mark Springer and
John Gatesy (S&G) present numerous criticisms of recent implementations and testing of the …

The reconstruction of the Tree of Life has relied almost entirely on concatenation methods,
which do not accommodate gene tree heterogeneity, a property that simulations and theory …
