Hominoids diverged from cercopithecoids during the Oligocene in Afro-Arabia, initially
radiating in that continent and subsequently dispersing into Eurasia. From the Late Miocene …

We provide a critical review of a recent taxonomic revision of Chilean Liolaemus lizards
(Iguania: Liolaemidae) by Pincheira-Donoso and Núñez (2005) and a recent paper …

Characterizing the evolutionary history of early dinosaurs is central to understanding their
rise and diversification in the Late Triassic. However, fossils from basal lineages are rare. A …

Combining morphological and molecular characters through Bayesian total-evidence dating
allows inferring the phylogenetic and timescale framework of both extant and fossil taxa …

In the age of genome sequencing, whole-genome data is readily and frequently generated,
leading to a wealth of new information that can be used to advance various fields of …
