The long-awaited revision of the industry standard on phylogenetics Since the publication of
the first edition of this landmark volume more than twenty-five years ago, phylogenetic …

Despite the impressive growth of knowledge on the phylogenetic systematics of dart-poison
frogs and their relatives (Dendrobatoidea) over the past decade, many problems remain to …

Abstract Squamata (amphisbaenians,“lizards”, mosasaurs, and snakes) is an extremely
diverse clade with a rich fossil record. There is little consensus about the interrelationships …

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

Titanosauriforms represent a diverse and globally distributed clade of neosauropod
dinosaurs, but their inter-relationships remain poorly understood. Here we redescribe …

Although an increasing number of phylogenetic data sets are incomplete, the effect of
ambiguous data on phylogenetic accuracy is not well understood. We use 4-taxon …

A common problem in phylogenetic analysis is the presence of unstable taxa that are
depicted in multiple positions in optimal topologies. These uncertainties are reflected in strict …

This study analyzed 76 species of Carnivora using a concatenated sequence of 6243 bp
from six genes (nuclear TR-iI, TBG, and IRBP; mitochondrial ND2, CYTB, and 12S rRNA) …

Ornithischia is a familiar and diverse clade of dinosaurs whose global phylogeny has
remained largely unaltered since early cladistic analyses in the mid 1980s. Current …

Crown group Archosauria, which includes birds, dinosaurs, crocodylomorphs, and several
extinct Mesozoic groups, is a primary division of the vertebrate tree of life. However, the …
