Gene tree discordance in large genomic data sets can be caused by evolutionary processes
such as incomplete lineage sorting and hybridization, as well as model violation, and errors …

Australia has the highest historically recorded rate of mammalian extinction in the world, with
34 terrestrial species declared extinct since European colonization in 1788. Among …

Mountain systems harbor a substantial fraction of global biodiversity and, thus, provide
excellent opportunities to study rapid diversification and to understand the historical …

In cryptic amphibian complexes, there is a growing trend to equate high levels of genetic
structure with hidden cryptic species diversity. Typically, phylogenetic structure and distance …

Phylogenomic analyses of long sequences, consisting of many genes and genomic
segments, reconstruct organismal relationships with high statistical confidence. But, inferred …

There are particular challenges in defining the taxonomic status of recently radiated groups
due to the low level of phylogenetic signal. Members of the Salmo trutta species-complex …

Eucalypts are a large and ecologically important group of plants on the Australian continent,
and understanding their evolution is important in understanding evolution of the unique …

Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic inference is widely used in phylogenomics. As
heuristic searches most likely find suboptimal trees, it is recommended to conduct multiple …

The north temperate region was characterized by a warm climate and a rich thermophilic
flora before the Eocene, but early diversifications of the temperate biome under global …

Topological conflict or incongruence is widespread in phylogenomic data. Concatenation-
and coalescent-based approaches often result in incongruent topologies, but the causes of …
