Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing phylogenetic relationships among galliformes: a multigene phylogeny with expanded taxon sampling in Phasianidae.
TL;DR: The results corroborated recent studies describing relationships among the major families, and provided further evidence that the traditional division of the largest family, the Phasianidae into two major groups (“pheasants” and “partridges”) is not valid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of Portulacineae Marked by Gene Tree Conflict and Gene Family Expansion Associated with Adaptation to Harsh Environments.

TL;DR: It is found that the WGD events were typically associated with shifts in climatic niche but did not find a direct association with WGDs and diversification rate shifts, and found evidence for significant gene family expansion in genes with stress adaptation and clades found in extreme environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ancestral range reconstruction of Galliformes: the effects of topology and taxon sampling
TL;DR: Long-distance dispersal is likely to have been important in galliforms, possibly reflecting more vagile ancestors and repeated range expansions and contractions, and there appears to be a trade-off between the use of trees with rich taxon sampling but limited data, and more robust trees with missing taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical relationships of three enigmatic phasianid genera (Aves: Galliformes) inferred using phylogenomic and mitogenomic data.
TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships of these three enigmatic, poorly-studied, phasianid taxa are identified thanks to the strong support and consistent topology provided by all UCE analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Genomics Reveals a Burst of Homoplasy-Free Numt Insertions.
TL;DR: Two songbirds, Geospiza fortis (Darwin's finch) and Zonotrichia albicollis (white-throated sparrow) had the largest number of numts and appear to represent perfect rare genomic changes.
