TL;DR: This work explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from 48 avian species representing all major extant clades to reveal that pan-avian genomic diversity covaries with adaptations to different lifestyles and convergent evolution of traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An exceptionally slow rate of genome evolution within crocodilians at all levels is observed, consistent with a single underlying cause of a reduced rate of evolutionary change rather than intrinsic differences in base repair machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic relationships and divergence times among New World monkeys (Platyrrhini, Primates)
Juan C. Opazo,Derek E. Wildman,Derek E. Wildman,Tom Prychitko,Robert M. Johnson,Morris Goodman +5 more
TL;DR: Divergence time estimations using both local molecular clock and Bayesian approaches suggest the families diverged from one another over a short period of geological time in the late Oligocene-early Miocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomics, biogeography, and the diversification of placental mammals

TL;DR: Crown placental mammalian diversification appears to be largely the result of ancient plate tectonic events that allowed time for convergent phenotypes to evolve in the descendant clades.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fully resolved genus level phylogeny of neotropical primates (Platyrrhini).
TL;DR: This study provides a framework for using non-genic, non-coding markers in comparative primate phylogenomic studies in species whose genomes are not yet scheduled for complete sequencing and confidently inferred that Pitheciidae is the sister taxon to the other two platyrrhine families.
