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 …

Recent excitement over the development of an initiative to generate DNA sequences for all
named species on the planet has in our opinion generated two major areas of contention as …

The Yeasts: A Taxonomic Study is a three-volume book that covers the taxonomic aspect of
yeasts. The main goal of this book is to provide important information about the identification …

The advent and maturation of algorithms for estimating species trees—phylogenetic trees
that allow gene tree heterogeneity and whose tips represent lineages, populations and …

Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses were conducted to address the evolution of
Clavicipitaceae (Ascomycota). Data are presented here for approximately 5900 base pairs …

Abstract Background With nearly 1,100 species, the fish family Characidae represents more
than half of the species of Characiformes, and is a key component of Neotropical freshwater …

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

In this article we explore the paradox of why morphological data are currently utilized less for
phylogeny reconstruction than are DNA sequence data, whereas most of what we know …

▪ Abstract Insect molecular systematics has undergone remarkable recent growth. Advances
in methods of data generation and analysis have led to the accumulation of large amounts of …

We live in the age of comparative genomics, and it may seem that there is not much point in
reconstructing phylogenies using morphological data anymore. As more and more genes …
