The development of sustained, long-term endothermy was one of the major transitions in the
evolution of vertebrates. Thermogenesis in endotherms does not only occur via shivering or …

Torpor and hibernation are powerful strategies enabling animals to survive periods of low
resource availability. The state of torpor results from an active and drastic reduction of an …

High-throughput sequencing projects generate genome-scale sequence data for species-
level phylogenies,–. However, state-of-the-art Bayesian methods for inferring timetrees are …

Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) makes ancestral genetic polymorphisms persist during
rapid speciation events, inducing incongruences between gene trees and species trees. ILS …

Xenarthra (armadillos, sloths, and anteaters) constitutes one of the four major clades of
placental mammals. Despite their phylogenetic distinctiveness in mammals, a reference …

The current literature on marsupial phylogenetics includes numerous studies based on
analyses of morphological data with limited sampling of Recent and fossil taxa, and many …

Reconstructing species' demographic histories is a central focus of molecular ecology and
evolution. Recently, an expanding suite of methods leveraging either the sequentially …
