TL;DR: A precipitous drop in costs and increase in sequencing efficiency is anticipated, with concomitant development of improved annotation technology, and it is proposed to create a collection of tissue and DNA specimens for 10,000 vertebrate species specifically designated for whole-genome sequencing in the very near future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial Tests of the Pesticide Drift, Habitat Destruction, UV‐B, and Climate‐Change Hypotheses for California Amphibian Declines
TL;DR: In four species, a strong positive association between declines and the amount of upwind agricultural land use is found, suggesting that wind-borne pesticides may be an im- portant factor in declines.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of natural history collections in documenting species declines.
TL;DR: Museum collections, when properly analysed, can be an invaluable tool in documenting changes in biodiversity during the past century, at spatial scales ranging from single localities to large biotic and political regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Common vertebrate regulatory networks, some of which have analogs in human diseases, are often involved in the western painted turtle's extraordinary physiological capacities, and may offer important insights into the management of a number of human health disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Troubleshooting Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses
TL;DR: This review focuses on several persistent problems, including rooting, conflict among data sets, weak support in trees, strong but evidently incorrect support, and the computational issues arising when methods are applied to the large data sets that are becoming increasingly commonplace.
