The Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution and the origins of modern biodiversity
Biodiversity today has the unusual property that 85% of plant and animal species live on
land rather than in the sea, and half of these live in tropical rainforests. An explosive boost to …

Interrogating genomic-scale data for Squamata (lizards, snakes, and amphisbaenians) shows no support for key traditional morphological relationships
Genomics is narrowing uncertainty in the phylogenetic structure for many amniote groups.
For one of the most diverse and species-rich groups, the squamate reptiles (lizards, snakes …
