Updated angiosperm family tree for analyzing phylogenetic diversity and community structure
(Acta Botanica Brasilica, 2019)
Ecological and phylogenetic dimensions of cranial shape diversification in South American caviomorph rodents (Rodentia: Hystricomorpha)
(Oxford University Press, 2013-11)
Caviomorph rodents represent an excellent model to explore morphological diversification on a macroevolutionary scale, as they are ecologically and morphologically diverse. We analysed cranial shape variation using geometric ...
The molecular phylogenetic signature of clades in decline
(2011-10-04)
Molecular phylogenies have been used to study the diversification of many clades. However, current methods for inferring diversification dynamics from molecular phylogenies ignore the possibility that clades may be decreasing ...
Incorporating phylogenetic uncertainty on phylogeny-based palaeontological dating and the timing of turtle diversification
(Wiley, 2012-09-10)
Methods improving the performance of molecular dating of divergence time of clades have improved dramatically in recent years. The calibration of molecular dating using the first appearance of a clade in the fossil record ...
Using phylogenetic information and the comparative method to evaluate hypotheses in macroecology
(2013)
It is widely recognized that macroecological patterns are not independent of the evolution of the lineages involved in generating these patterns. While many researchers have begun to evaluate the effect of ancestor-descendant ...
Allometry, Function and Shape Diversification in the Inner Ear of Platyrrhine Primates
(Springer, 2020-01-22)
The diversification of anatomical structures with functional importance during the branching process of a clade is a widely studied phenomenon in evolutionary biology. In recent years, there is a growing interest in the ...
Evolution of exceptional species richness among lineages of fleshy-fruited Myrtaceae
(Oxford Univ PressOxfordInglaterra, 2010)
The life and adventures of an eight-legged castaway: Colonization and diversification of Philisca ghost spiders on Robinson Crusoe Island (Araneae, Anyphaenidae)
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017-02)
Oceanic archipelagoes, by their young origin and isolation, provide privileged settings to study the origin and diversification of species. Here, we study the anyphaenid spider genus Philisca, endemic to the Valdivian ...
Patterns of cranial shape diversification during the phylogenetic branching process of New World monkeys (Primates: Platyrrhini)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-08)
One of the central topics in evolutionary biology is understanding the processes responsible for phenotypic diversification related to ecological factors. New World monkeys are an excellent reference system to investigate ...
