Molecular timetrees using relaxed clocks and uncertain phylogenies

Frontiers in Bioinformatics, 2023
A common practice in molecular systematics is to infer phylogeny and then scale it to time by using a relaxed clock method and calibrations. This sequential analysis practice ignores the effect of phylogenetic uncertainty on divergence time estimates and

A mitogenomic phylogeny of chitons (Mollusca: Polyplacophora)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background Polyplacophora, or chitons, have long fascinated malacologists for their distinct and rather conserved morphology and lifestyle compared to other mollusk classes.

Crinoid phylogeny: a preliminary analysis (Echinodermata: Crinoidea) [PDF]

, 2004
We describe the first molecular and morphological analysis of extant crinoid high-level inter-relationships. Nuclear and mitochondrial gene sequences and a cladistically coded matrix of 30 morphological characters are presented, and analysed by ...

New insights into the phylogeny and relationships within the worldwide genus Riccardia (Aneuraceae, Marchantiophytina)

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2017
With 280 accepted species, the genus Riccardia S.F.Gray (Aneuraceae) is one of the most speciose genera of simple thalloid liverworts. The current classification of this genus is based on morphological and limited-sampling molecular studies.

Time-calibrated molecular phylogeny of pteropods.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Pteropods are a widespread group of holoplanktonic gastropod molluscs and are uniquely suitable for study of long-term evolutionary processes in the open ocean because they are the only living metazoan plankton with a good fossil record.

Phylogenetic review of the millipede genus Cherokia Chamberlin, 1949 (Polydesmida, Xystodesmidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2022
The millipede genus Cherokia Chamberlin, 1949 is a monospecific taxon, with the type species Cherokia georgiana (Bollman, 1889). The last revision of the genus was made by Hoffman (1960) where he established three subspecies.

A molecular phylogeny of living primates.

PLoS Genetics, 2011
Comparative genomic analyses of primates offer considerable potential to define and understand the processes that mold, shape, and transform the human genome.

Molecular phylogeny and diversification history of Prosopis (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) [PDF]

, 2008
The genus Prosopis is an important member of arid and semiarid environments around the world. To study Prosopis diversification and evolution, a combined approach including molecular phylogeny, molecular dating, and character optimization analysis was ...

Molecular phylogeny of the Notostraca [PDF]

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2013
We used a combined analysis of one nuclear (28S rDNA) and three mitochondrial markers (COI, 12S rDNA, 16S rDNA) to infer the molecular phylogeny of the Notostraca, represented by samples from the six continents that are inhabited by this group of branchiopod crustaceans.

Molecular Phylogeny of Acanthamoeba [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2009
After morphological grouping of Acanthamoeba by Pussard and Pons, phylogeny of the genus has been always a big topic to the researchers. Because of the variability of morphological characteristics, unchangeable and stable characters have been investigated for phylogenic criteria.
