Inferring the mammal tree: Species-level sets of phylogenies for questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation.

Autor: Nathan S Upham, Jacob A Esselstyn, Walter Jetz

Publikováno v: PLoS Biology, Vol 17, Iss 12, p e3000494 (2019)

Big, time-scaled phylogenies are fundamental to connecting evolutionary processes to modern biodiversity patterns. Yet inferring reliable phylogenetic trees for thousands of species involves numerous trade-offs that have limited their utility to comp

Species interactions during diversification and community assembly in an island radiation of shrews.

Publikováno v: PLoS ONE, Vol 6, Iss 7, p e21885 (2011)

BACKGROUND: Closely related, ecologically similar species often have adjacent distributions, suggesting competitive exclusion may contribute to the structure of some natural communities. In systems such as island archipelagos, where speciation is oft

It is a great pleasure to introduce this special feature honoring Dr. Alfred Lunt Gardner. Al’s many contributions to mammalogy span seven decades, two continents, and practically the entire tree of mammals. It is impossible to imagine what mammalo

Deer mice (genus Peromyscus) are among the commonest small mammals in the Nearctic zoogeographic region. Nevertheless, systematic relationships are only partially settled and numerous taxonomic questions await resolution. For instance, researchers ha
