Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results show that the phylogenetic ‘fuses’ leading to the explosion of extant placental orders are not only very much longer than suspected previously, but also challenge the hypothesis that the end-Cretaceous mass extinction event had a major, direct influence on the diversification of today’s mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Considering evolutionary processes in conservation biology.
TL;DR: This work argues for a broader categorization of population distinctiveness based on concepts of ecological and genetic exchangeability (sensu Templeton), which are more relevant for conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mace,Andy Purvis +23 more
TL;DR: PanTHERIA as mentioned in this paper is a species-level data set compiled for analysis of life history, ecology, and geography of all known extant and recently extinct mammalian species, collected over a period of three years by 20 individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple Causes of High Extinction Risk in Large Mammal Species
Marcel Cardillo,Georgina M. Mace,Kate E. Jones,Jon Bielby,Olaf R. P. Bininda-Emonds,Wes Sechrest,C. David L. Orme,Andy Purvis +7 more
TL;DR: The disadvantages of large size are greater than generally recognized, and future loss of large mammal biodiversity could be far more rapid than expected.
Journal ArticleDOI
How many bootstrap replicates are necessary
Nicholas D. Pattengale,Masoud Alipour,Olaf R. P. Bininda-Emonds,Bernard M. E. Moret,Alexandros Stamatakis +4 more
TL;DR: This article proposes stopping criteria--that is, thresholds computed at runtime to determine when enough replicates have been generated--and reports on the first large-scale experimental study to assess the effect of the number of replicates on the quality of support values, including the performance of the proposed criteria.
