The uses and abuses of tree thinking in cultural evolution
Modern phylogenetic methods are increasingly being used to address questions about
macro-level patterns in cultural evolution. These methods can illuminate the unobservable …

New concepts and methods for phylogenetic taxonomy and nomenclature in zoology, exemplified by a new ranked cladonomy of recent amphibians (Lissamphibia)
Although currently most taxonomists claim to adhere to the concept of 'phylogenetic
taxonomy', in fact most of the zoological classifications currently published are only in part …

Interrogating genomic-scale data for Squamata (lizards, snakes, and amphisbaenians) shows no support for key traditional morphological relationships
Genomics is narrowing uncertainty in the phylogenetic structure for many amniote groups.
For one of the most diverse and species-rich groups, the squamate reptiles (lizards, snakes …

Phylogenetic trees and networks can serve as powerful and complementary approaches for analysis of genomic data
Genomic data have had a profound impact on nearly every biological discipline. In
systematics and phylogenetics, the thousands of loci that are now being sequenced can be …

Candidate‐species delimitation in Desmognathus salamanders reveals gene flow across lineage boundaries, confounding phylogenetic estimation and clarifying …
Abstract Dusky Salamanders (genus Desmognathus) currently comprise only 22 described,
extant species. However, recent mitochondrial and nuclear estimates indicate the presence …

Phylogenomic analysis of the parrots of the world distinguishes artifactual from biological sources of gene tree discordance
Gene tree discordance is expected in phylogenomic trees and biological processes are
often invoked to explain it. However, heterogeneous levels of phylogenetic signal among …
