William J. Murphy,Eduardo Eizirik,Eduardo Eizirik,Stephen J. O'Brien,Ole Madsen,Mark Scally,Mark Scally,Christophe J. Douady,Christophe J. Douady,Emma C. Teeling,Emma C. Teeling,Oliver A. Ryder,Michael J. Stanhope,Michael J. Stanhope,Wilfried W. de Jong,Mark S. Springer +15 more
TL;DR: Crown-group Eutheria may have their most recent common ancestry in the Southern Hemisphere (Gondwana), and placental phylogeny is investigated using Bayesian and maximum-likelihood methods and a 16.4-kilobase molecular data set.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parallel adaptive radiations in two major clades of placental mammals
Ole Madsen,Mark Scally,Mark Scally,Christophe J. Douady,Christophe J. Douady,Diana J. Kao,Ronald W. DeBry,Ronald M. Adkins,Heather M. Amrine,Michael J. Stanhope,Wilfried W. de Jong,Wilfried W. de Jong,Mark S. Springer +12 more
TL;DR: Two independent molecular data sets, having aligned lengths of DNA of 5,708 and 2,947 base pairs, respectively, are analysed for all orders of placental mammals to resolve placental orders into four groups: Xenarthra, Afrotheria, Laurasiatheria, and Euarchonta plus Glires.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linnaeus was right all along: Ulva and Enteromorpha are not distinct genera
Hillary S. Hayden,Jaanika Blomster,Christine A. Maggs,Paul C. Silva,Michael J. Stanhope,J. Robert Waaland +5 more
TL;DR: Preliminary results provide strong evidence that Ulva, Enteromorpha and Chloropelta are not distinct evolutionary entities and should not be recognized as separate genera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecules consolidate the placental mammal tree
TL;DR: In this paper, a stable tree topology with four major groups of placental mammals is proposed, and the emerging tree has revealed numerous instances of convergent evolution and suggests a role for plate tectonics in the early evolutionary history of this group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular evidence for multiple origins of Insectivora and for a new order of endemic African insectivore mammals
Michael J. Stanhope,Victor G. Waddell,Ole Madsen,Wilfried W. de Jong,S. Blair Hedges,Gregory C. Cleven,Diana Kao,Mark S. Springer +7 more
TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of the mammalian order Soricomorpha has been conducted by as discussed by the authors, which includes representatives of all six families of insectivores, as well as 37 other taxa representing marsupials, monotremes, and all but two orders of placental mammals.
