TL;DR: A genome-scale phylogenetic analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves recovered a highly resolved tree that confirms previously controversial sister or close relationships and identifies the first divergence in Neoaves, two groups the authors named Passerea and Columbea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraconserved elements anchor thousands of genetic markers spanning multiple evolutionary timescales.
Brant C. Faircloth,John E. McCormack,Nicholas G. Crawford,Michael G. Harvey,Robb T. Brumfield,Travis C. Glenn +5 more
TL;DR: A new class of molecular marker, anchored by ultraconserved genomic elements (UCEs), that universally enable target enrichment and sequencing of thousands of orthologous loci across species separated by hundreds of millions of years of evolution is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of next-generation sequencing to phylogeography and phylogenetics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline some of the major obstacles specific to the application of NGS to phylogeography and phylogenetics, including the focus on non-model organisms, the necessity of obtaining orthologous loci in a cost-effective manner, and the predominate use of gene trees in these fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that spatial and temporal patterns of genetic differentiation in Neotropical birds are highly discordant across lineages and are not reconcilable with a model linking speciation solely to landscape change, and the strongest predictors of speciation are the amount of time a lineage has persisted in the landscape and the ability of birds to move through the landscape matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraconserved elements are novel phylogenomic markers that resolve placental mammal phylogeny when combined with species-tree analysis.
John E. McCormack,Brant C. Faircloth,Nicholas G. Crawford,Patricia Adair Gowaty,Robb T. Brumfield,Travis C. Glenn +5 more
TL;DR: This study outlines a phylogenomic approach using a novel class of phylogenetic markers derived from ultraconserved elements and flanking DNA, and shows that this class of marker is useful for recovering deep-level phylogeny in placental mammals.
