Evolutionary Processes of Diversification in a Model Island Archipelago
Rafe M. Brown,Cameron D. Siler,Carl H. Oliveros,Jacob A. Esselstyn,Arvin C. Diesmos,Peter A. Hosner,Charles W. Linkem,Anthony J. Barley,Jamie R. Oaks,Marites B. Sanguila,Luke J. Welton,David C. Blackburn,Robert G. Moyle,A. Townsend Peterson,Angel C. Alcala +14 more
TL;DR: An ongoing renaissance of species discovery is characterized and how a 25-year Pleistocene island connectivity paradigm continues to provide some explanatory power, but has been augmented by increased understanding of the archipelago's geological history and ecological gradients is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The challenge of species delimitation at the extremes: diversification without morphological change in philippine sun skinks.
TL;DR: It is found that species diversity is vastly underestimated in this unique evolutionary radiation of Southeast Asian lizards, and an extreme case where extensive genetic divergence among lineages has been accompanied by little to no differentiation in external morphology is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fourteen nuclear genes provide phylogenetic resolution for difficult nodes in the turtle tree of life.
TL;DR: Strong support is found for two of the most problematic nodes in the deep phylogeny of turtles that have traditionally defied resolution and the utility of multi-locus datasets in phylogenetic analyses of difficult problems is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Model Violations on the Inference of Species Boundaries Under the Multispecies Coalescent.
TL;DR: Simulation is used to characterize the sensitivity of inference under the multispecies coalescent (MSC) to several violations of model assumptions thought to be common in empirical data, and the fit of the MSC model to empirical data in the context of species delimitation is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomics and species delimitation in the knob-scaled lizards of the genus Xenosaurus (Squamata: Xenosauridae) using ddRADseq data reveal a substantial underestimation of diversity.
Adrián Nieto-Montes de Oca,Anthony J. Barley,Rubi N. Meza-Lázaro,Uri Omar García-Vázquez,Joan Gastón Zamora-Abrego,Robert C. Thomson,Adam D. Leaché +6 more
TL;DR: This work used ddRADseq data from all of the described and potentially undescribed taxa of Xenosaurus to investigate species limits, and reconstructed a well-resolved and generally well-supported phylogeny for this group of knob-scaled lizards.
