A revision of the diagnosis and affinities of the metriorhynchoids (Crocodylomorpha, Thalattosuchia) from the Rosso Ammonitico Veronese Formation (Jurassic of Italy) using specimen-level analyses [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Neptunidraco ammoniticus is a thalattosuchian crocodylomorph from the Rosso Ammonitico Veronese Formation (RAVF, Middle Jurassic) of northern Italy. Erected from one partial specimen, Neptunidraco is pivotal in reconstructing thalattosuchian evolution ...

A New Genus of Miniaturized and Pug-Nosed Gecko from South America (Sphaerodactylidae: Gekkota) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Sphaerodactyl geckos comprise five genera distributed across Central and South America and the Caribbean. We estimated phylogenetic relationships among sphaerodactyl genera using both separate and combined analyses of seven nuclear genes.

A biologist’s guide to Bayesian phylogenetic analysis [PDF]

open access: yesNature Ecology & Evolution, 2017
Bayesian methods have become very popular in molecular phylogenetics due to the availability of user-friendly software implementing sophisticated models of evolution. However, Bayesian phylogenetic models are complex, and analyses are often carried out using default settings, which may not be appropriate.

Diversity of Pholcus Spiders (Araneae: Pholcidae) in China’s Lüliang Mountains: An Integrated Morphological and Molecular Approach

open access: yesInsects, 2023
Spiders of the genus Pholcus were collected for the first time during an expedition to the Lüliang Mountains in Shanxi Province, North China. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data from COI, H3, wnt, and 28S genes allowed us to group them into nine ...

BEAST: Bayesian evolutionary analysis by sampling trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background The evolutionary analysis of molecular sequence variation is a statistical enterprise. This is reflected in the increased use of probabilistic models for phylogenetic inference, multiple sequence alignment, and molecular population genetics ...

Multiple optimality criteria support Ornithoscelida [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2017
A recent study of early dinosaur evolution using equal-weights parsimony recovered a scheme of dinosaur interrelationships and classification that differed from historical consensus in a single, but significant, respect; Ornithischia and Saurischia were ...

Implementation of Bayesian inference MCMC algorithm in phylogenetic analysis of Dipterocarpaceae family

open access: yesJurnal Ilmiah SINERGI, 2023
Dipterocarpaceae is one of the most prominent plant families, with more than 500 members of species. This family mostly used timber plants for housing, making ships, decking, and primary materials for making furniture. In Indonesia, many Dipterocarpaceae

Data incongruence and the problem of avian louse phylogeny [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Recent studies based on different types of data (i.e. morphological and molecular) have supported conflicting phylogenies for the genera of avian feather lice (Ischnocera: Phthiraptera).
