Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic systematics of dart-poison frogs and their relatives (amphibia: athesphatanura: dendrobatidae)
Taran Grant,Taran Grant,Darrel R. Frost,Janalee P. Caldwell,Ron Gagliardo,Célio F. B. Haddad,Philippe J. R. Kok,D. Bruce Means,Brice P. Noonan,Walter E. Schargel,Ward C. Wheeler +10 more
TL;DR: A new, monophyletic taxonomy for dendrobatids is proposed, recognizing the inclusive clade as a superfamily (Dendrobatoidea) composed of two families (one of which is new), six subfamilies (three new), and 16 genera (four new).
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for an ancient adaptive episode of convergent molecular evolution.
Todd A. Castoe,A. P. Jason de Koning,Hyunmin Kim,Wanjun Gu,Wanjun Gu,Brice P. Noonan,Gavin J. P. Naylor,Zhi J. Jiang,Zhi J. Jiang,Christopher L. Parkinson,Christopher L. Parkinson,David D. Pollock +11 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that nonneutral convergent molecular evolution in mitochondria can occur at a scale and intensity far beyond what has been documented previously, and they highlight the vulnerability of standard phylogenetic methods to the presence of non neutral convergent sequence evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resolving the phylogeny of lizards and snakes (Squamata) with extensive sampling of genes and species
John J. Wiens,Carl R. Hutter,Daniel G. Mulcahy,Brice P. Noonan,Ted M. Townsend,Jack W. Sites,Tod W. Reeder +6 more
TL;DR: Higher-level squamate phylogeny is analysed with a molecular dataset of unprecedented size, including 161 squamate species for up to 44 nuclear genes each (33 717 base pairs), using both concatenated and species-tree methods for the first time, and it is found that dibamids and gekkotans are together the sister group to all other squamates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated analyses resolve conflicts over squamate reptile phylogeny and reveal unexpected placements for fossil taxa.
Tod W. Reeder,Ted M. Townsend,Daniel G. Mulcahy,Brice P. Noonan,Perry L. Wood,Jack W. Sites,John J. Wiens +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that integrating molecular, morphological, and paleontological data leads to surprising placements for two major fossil clades (Mosasauria and Polyglyphanodontia) and the importance of combining fossil and molecular information is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of iguanian lizards inferred from 29 nuclear loci, and a comparison of concatenated and species-tree approaches for an ancient, rapid radiation.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic results suggest a non-traditional biogeographic scenario in which pleurodonts originated in the Northern Hemisphere and subsequently spread southward into South America.
