Journal ArticleDOI
DIVERSIFICATION OF RAINFOREST FAUNAS: An Integrated Molecular Approach
TL;DR: The current major hypotheses are outlined, predictions relevant to integrated molecular approaches are developed, and the current evidence is evaluated, focusing on central African, Australian, and South American systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating phylogenetics and environmental niche models to explore speciation mechanisms in dendrobatid frogs.
Catherine H. Graham,Santiago R. Ron,Santiago R. Ron,Juan C. Santos,Juan C. Santos,Christopher J. Schneider,Craig Moritz +6 more
TL;DR: An approach that combines distribution data, environmental geographic information system layers, environmental niche models, and phylogenetic information to investigate speciation processes is developed and will be increasingly useful as knowledge of distribution and phylogeny of tropical species increases.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Comparative gene analysis shows that amniote egg proteins have evolved significantly more rapidly than other proteins, and an anole phylogeny resolves basal branches to illuminate the history of their repeated adaptive radiations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary relationships within the ensatina eschscholtzii complex confirm the ring species interpretation
TL;DR: Division of this complex into separate species on the basis of the observed patterns of monophyly for mitochondrial DNA is unwarranted because further sampling could reveal additional instances of paraphyly across subspecies and, more generally, because mtDNA alone should not be used to infer species boundaries.

TL;DR: The evolution of the amniotic egg was one of the great evolutionary innovations in the history of life, freeing vertebrates from an obligatory connection to water and thus permitting the conquest of terrestrial environments as discussed by the authors.
