The history of long‐branch attraction, and in particular methods suggested to detect and
avoid the artifact to date, is reviewed. Methods suggested to avoid LBA‐artifacts include …

Most molecular phylogenetic studies place all placental mammals into four superordinal
groups, Laurasiatheria (eg dogs, bats, whales), Euarchontoglires (eg humans, rodents …

Fabaceae are the third largest angiosperm family, with 765 genera and∼ 19 500 species.
They are important both economically and ecologically, and global Fabaceae crops are …

Asterids are one of the most successful angiosperm lineages, exhibiting extensive
morphological diversity and including a number of important crops. Despite their biological …

Molecular phylogenetic studies have resolved placental mammals into four major groups,
but have not established the full hierarchy of interordinal relationships, including the position …

Our understanding of the origins, the functions and/or the structures of biological sequences
strongly depends on our ability to decipher the mechanisms of molecular evolution. These …

Following our traditional concept of Mammalia, and thus including a number of forms known
only by fossils of the Mesozoic, the earliest mammals are from the Late Triassic, a bit over …

DNA data has been widely used in animal phylogenetic studies over the past 15 years. Here
we review how these studies have used advances in knowledge of molecular evolutionary …

Since the discovery of the existence of superassemblies between mitochondrial respiratory
complexes, such superassemblies have been the object of a passionate debate. It is …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is the most popular marker of molecular diversity in animals,
primarily because of its elevated mutation rate. After> 20 years of intensive usage, the extent …
