Delimiting species without nuclear monophyly in Madagascar's mouse lemurs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Speciation begins when populations become genetically separated through a substantial reduction in gene flow, and it is at this point that a genetically cohesive set of populations attain the sole property of species: the independent evolution of a ...

Integrating the processes in the evolutionary system of domestication [PDF]
, 2010 Genetics has long been used as a source of evidence to understand domestication origins. A recent shift in the emphasis of archaeological evidence from a rapid transition paradigm of hunter-gatherers to agriculturalists, to a protracted transition ...

Testing the monophyly of Heterosperma (Asteraceae, Coreopsideae)
Phytotaxa, 2018 The genus Heterosperma (Asteraceae, Coreopsideae) currently comprises ten species distributed from Mexico to South America. Molecular phylogenies of the tribe Coreopsideae (including only two species of Heterosperma) pointed out that the genus would not be monophyletic.

Waves of genomic hitchhikers shed light on the evolution of gamebirds (Aves: Galliformes) : research article [PDF]
, 2007 Background The phylogenetic tree of Galliformes (gamebirds, including megapodes, currassows, guinea fowl, New and Old World quails, chicken, pheasants, grouse, and turkeys) has been considerably remodeled over the last decades as new data and analytical ...

The changing views on the evolutionary relationships of extant Salamandridae (Amphibia: Urodela). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The phylogenetic relationships among members of the family Salamandridae have been repeatedly investigated over the last 90 years, with changing character and taxon sampling. We review the changing composition and the phylogenetic position of salamandrid

The genus problem – Eucalyptus as a model system for minimising taxonomic disruption
TAXON, EarlyView.Abstract The ongoing reclassification of higher plant genera (their division, combining and recircumscription) is the cause of extensive modifications to binomials. Many genus reclassifications have been far more taxonomically disruptive than necessary to achieve monophyletic genera.

Phylogenetic reassessment of tribe Anemoneae (Ranunculaceae): Non-monophyly of Anemone s.l. revealed by plastid datasets. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Morphological and molecular evidence strongly supported the monophyly of tribe Anemoneae DC.; however, phylogenetic relationships among genera of this tribe have still not been fully resolved.
