Modern phylogenetic methods are increasingly being used to address questions about
macro-level patterns in cultural evolution. These methods can illuminate the unobservable …

Simple Summary As a group of organisms, non-avian reptiles, most of which are the~
11,000 species of lizards and snakes, are an extraordinarily diverse group, displaying a …

The designation of taxonomic units has important implications for the understanding and
conservation of biodiversity. Eurasian vipers are a monophyletic group of viperid snakes …

Phylogenomic data from a rapidly increasing number of studies provide new evidence for
resolving relationships in recently radiated clades, but they also pose new challenges for …

Genomic data have had a profound impact on nearly every biological discipline. In
systematics and phylogenetics, the thousands of loci that are now being sequenced can be …

Spiders are important models for evolutionary studies of web building, sexual selection and
adaptive radiation. The recent development of probes for UCE (ultra‐conserved element) …

The genus Prunus, which contains 250–400 species, has ample genomic resources for the
economically important taxa in the group including cherries, peaches, and almonds …

As coral populations decline worldwide in the face of ongoing environmental change,
documenting their distribution, diversity and conservation status is now more imperative than …

Abstract.—Phylogenomics allows us to uncover the historical signal of evolutionary
processes through time and estimate phylogenetic networks accounting for these signals …

Interrogating the ecological and geographic factors that influence population divergence
dynamics can reveal why some groups of organisms diversify more prolifically than others …
