Journal ArticleDOI

Impending extinction crisis of the world's primates: why primates matter

TL;DR: Raising global scientific and public awareness of the plight of the world’s primates and the costs of their loss to ecosystem health and human society is imperative.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating diversification rates for higher taxa: BAMM can give problematic estimates of rates and rate shifts.

TL;DR: Simulations show that BAMM may be problematic for estimating diversification rates and rate shifts, and suggest that the method‐of‐moments estimators (particularly using stem group ages), yielded stronger relationships between true and estimated diverification rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the mechanisms underlying the distribution of microendemic montane frogs (Brachycephalus spp., Terrarana: Brachycephalidae) in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest

TL;DR: Interestingly, the three major clusters of climatic niches found in Brachycephalus corresponded largely to the three previously recognized phylogenetic lineages in the genus.
Journal ArticleDOI

BAMM gives misleading rate estimates in simulated and empirical datasets.

TL;DR: It is argued that BAMM should be avoided for estimating both diversification rates and rate shifts, and it is shown that the MS estimators can perform well when rates vary over time, despite untested assertions that they require constant rates to be accurate.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolution of climatic niches in squamate reptiles

TL;DR: It is found that changes in Climatic niche dynamics were pronounced over their recent squamate evolutionary history, and extensive evidence for rate heterogeneity in squamate climatic niche evolution is identified.
