TL;DR: A genome-scale phylogenetic analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves recovered a highly resolved tree that confirms previously controversial sister or close relationships and identifies the first divergence in Neoaves, two groups the authors named Passerea and Columbea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospects for building the tree of life from large sequence databases.

TL;DR: An analysis of two “supermatrices” suggests that even data sets with as much as 92% missing data can provide insights into broad sections of the tree of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obtaining maximal concatenated phylogenetic data sets from large sequence databases.
TL;DR: An exact algorithm for obtaining the largest multigene data sets from a collection of sequences with upper bounds to sequence concatenation has important implications for building the tree of life from large sequence databases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and evolution of the Australo-Papuan honeyeaters (Passeriformes, Meliphagidae).
Amy C. Driskell,Les Christidis +1 more
TL;DR: The Meliphagidae was found to be monophyletic, though the genera Certhionyx, Anthochaera, and Phylidonyris were not, and the spinebills (Acanthorhynchus) formed the sister clade to the remainder of the family in most analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The challenge of constructing large phylogenetic trees
TL;DR: The amount of sequence data available to reconstruct the evolutionary history of genes and species has increased 20-fold in the past decade, and the size of phylogenetic analyses has grown as well, and phylogenetic methods, algorithms and their implementations have struggled to keep pace.
