Journal ArticleDOI
Homoplasy: From Detecting Pattern to Determining Process and Mechanism of Evolution
TL;DR: New, robust phylogenetic hypotheses and molecular, genomic, and developmental techniques enable integrated exploration of the mechanisms by which similarity arises, and the foundations of morphological traits are discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Stopping further global losses of amphibian populations and species requires an unprecedented conservation response.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the problem of stasis in organismal evolution
TL;DR: It is argued that the best measure of evolutionary adaptation is the persistence of this autopoietic system, which allows organisms to compensate environmental, and even genetic, perturbations without having to change morphologically.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Conservation efforts are currently in a state of transition, with active debate about the relative importance of preserving historical landscapes with minimal human impact on one end of the ideological spectrum versus manipulating novel ecosystems that result from human activities on the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and biogeography of the family Salamandridae (Amphibia: Caudata) inferred from complete mitochondrial genomes
TL;DR: The results support recent taxonomic changes in finding the traditional genera Mertensiella, Euproctus, and Triturus to be non-monophyletic species assemblages and suggest that the initial diversification of extant salamandrids took place in Europe about 97 or 69Ma.
