Polyphyly of the Pikeminnows (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) Inferred Using Mitochondrial DNA Sequences
TL;DR: Phylogenies generated using DNA sequence data from the cytochrome b and 16S ribosomal DNA genes of the mitochondrial genome reveal that Ptychocheilus is a polyphyletic genus and suggest that the taxonomy of the group is in need of further revision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reinventing the leaf: multiple origins of leaf-like wings in katydids (Orthoptera : Tettigoniidae)
Joseph D. Mugleston,Michael Naegle,Hojun Song,Seth M. Bybee,Spencer J. Ingley,Anton Suvorov,Michael F. Whiting +6 more
TL;DR: A simple ratio method is provided that can be used to differentiate the leaf-like and non-leaf-like forms of katydids and indicates that selection seems to be favouring the transition away from leaf- like wings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caelestiventus hanseni gen. et sp. nov. extends the desert-dwelling pterosaur record back 65 million years
Brooks B. Britt,Fabio M. Dalla Vecchia,Daniel J. Chure,George F. Engelmann,Michael F. Whiting,Rodney D. Scheetz +5 more
TL;DR: A new species of Late Triassic pterosaur, Caelestiventus hanseni, predates all other known desert pterosaurs by 65 million years, showing that from an early point in their evolution, pter dinosaurs were widely geographically distributed and capable of dwelling in harsh environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep ancestral introgression shapes evolutionary history of dragonflies and damselflies.
Anton Suvorov,Celine Scornavacca,M. Stanley Fujimoto,Paul Bodily,Mark J. Clement,Keith A. Crandall,Michael F. Whiting,Daniel R. Schrider,Seth M. Bybee +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use phylogenomic approaches to understand patterns of introgression along the evolutionary history of a unique, non-model insect system: dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata).
MOABOSAURUS UTAHENSIS, N. Gen., N. SP., A New Sauropod From The Early Cretaceous (Aptian) of North America
TL;DR: This work describes a new sauropod that adds to the diversity of the Early Cretaceous, from strata that can be no older than the early Aptian, some 25 million years younger than the Morrison Formation, and concludes that Moabosaurus is a neosauropod.
