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

Phylogenetic analysis is used to recover the evolutionary history of species, genes or
proteins. Understanding phylogenetic relationships between organisms is a prerequisite of …

Big, time-scaled phylogenies are fundamental to connecting evolutionary processes to
modern biodiversity patterns. Yet inferring reliable phylogenetic trees for thousands of …

The precise pattern and timing of speciation events that gave rise to all living placental
mammals remain controversial. We provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of …

Summary Butterflies (Papilionoidea), with over 18,000 described species [1], have
captivated naturalists and scientists for centuries. They play a central role in the study of …

Phylogenomics, the use of large-scale data matrices in phylogenetic analyses, has been
viewed as the ultimate solution to the problem of resolving difficult nodes in the tree of life …

Phylogenomics is extremely powerful but introduces new challenges as no agreement exists
on 'standards' for data selection, curation and tree inference. We use jawed vertebrates …

Phylogenomics is increasingly used to infer deep‐branching relationships while revealing
the complexity of evolutionary processes such as incomplete lineage sorting, hybridization …

Much progress has been achieved in disentangling evolutionary relationships among
species in the tree of life, but some taxonomic groups remain difficult to resolve despite …

Higher-level relationships among placental mammals are mostly resolved, but several
polytomies remain contentious. Song et al.(2012) claimed to have resolved three of these …
