Explosive Radiation of Malpighiales Supports a Mid-Cretaceous Origin of Modern Tropical Rain Forests
(University of Chicago Press, 2005)Fossil data have been interpreted as indicating that Late Cretaceous tropical forests were open and dry adapted and that modern closed-canopy rain forest did not originate until after the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundary. ... -
A New Dimension in Combining Data? The Use of Morphology and Phylogenomic Data in Metazoan Systematics
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)Animal phylogenies have been traditionally inferred by using the character state information derived from the observation of a diverse array of morphological and anatomical features, but the incorporation of molecular data ... -
Reevaluating the Arthropod Tree of Life
(Annual Reviews, 2012)Arthropods are the most diverse group of animals and have been so since the Cambrian radiation. They belong to the protostome clade Ecdysozoa, with Onychophora (velvet worms) as their most likely sister group and tardigrades ...
