TL;DR: A comprehensive molecular phylogeny for bony fishes that includes representatives of all major lineages and the order Perciformes, considered by many a polyphyletic taxonomic waste basket, is defined for the first time as a monophyletic group in the global phylogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomics, Diversification Dynamics, and Comparative Transcriptomics across the Spider Tree of Life.

TL;DR: This study, one of the largest invertebrate phylogenomic analyses to date, highlights the usefulness of transcriptomic data not only to build a robust backbone for the Spider Tree of Life, but also to address the genetic basis of diversification in the spider evolutionary chronicle.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Critical Appraisal of the Placement of Xiphosura (Chelicerata) with Account of Known Sources of Phylogenetic Error
TL;DR: The inference that horseshoe crabs represent a group of aquatic arachnids, comparable to aquatic mites, breaking a long-standing paradigm in chelicerate evolution and altering previous interpretations of the ancestral transition to the terrestrial habitat is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Addressing Gene Tree Discordance and Non-Stationarity to Resolve a Multi-Locus Phylogeny of the Flatfishes (Teleostei: Pleuronectiformes)
TL;DR: Support for the monophyly of flatfishes is found and findings from previous molecular phylogenetic studies suggesting their close affinity with several carangimorph groups are confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Orthology Assessment Method for Phylogenomic Data: Unrooted Phylogenetic Orthology
TL;DR: A procedure to detect and document the phylogenetic distribution of orthologs allowing researchers to use this information to guide selection of loci best suited to test specific evolutionary questions.
