Weighted parsimony outperforms other methods of phylogenetic inference under models appropriate for morphology
One of the lasting controversies in phylogenetic inference is the degree to which specific
evolutionary models should influence the choice of methods. Model‐based approaches to …

An extreme case of plant–insect codiversification: figs and fig-pollinating wasps
It is thought that speciation in phytophagous insects is often due to colonization of novel host
plants, because radiations of plant and insect lineages are typically asynchronous. Recent …
