Cryptic species as a window into the paradigm shift of the species concept
C Fišer, CT Robinson, F Malard - Molecular Ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The species concept is the cornerstone of biodiversity science, and any paradigm shift in the
delimitation of species affects many research fields. Many biologists now are embracing a …

Inferring the mammal tree: species-level sets of phylogenies for questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation
Big, time-scaled phylogenies are fundamental to connecting evolutionary processes to
modern biodiversity patterns. Yet inferring reliable phylogenetic trees for thousands of …

A molecular timescale for eukaryote evolution with implications for the origin of red algal-derived plastids
In modern oceans, eukaryotic phytoplankton is dominated by lineages with red algal-derived
plastids such as diatoms, dinoflagellates, and coccolithophores. Despite the ecological …

Integrated genomic and fossil evidence illuminates life's early evolution and eukaryote origin
Establishing a unified timescale for the early evolution of Earth and life is challenging and
mired in controversy because of the paucity of fossil evidence, the difficulty of interpreting it …

[HTML][HTML] Classifying the evolutionary and ecological features of neoplasms
Neoplasms change over time through a process of cell-level evolution, driven by genetic
and epigenetic alterations. However, the ecology of the microenvironment of a neoplastic …
