Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the green anole lizard and a comparative analysis with birds and mammals

TL;DR: Comparative gene analysis shows that amniote egg proteins have evolved significantly more rapidly than other proteins, and an anole phylogeny resolves basal branches to illuminate the history of their repeated adaptive radiations.

The genome of the green anole lizard and a comparative analysis with birds and mammals

TL;DR: The evolution of the amniotic egg was one of the great evolutionary innovations in the history of life, freeing vertebrates from an obligatory connection to water and thus permitting the conquest of terrestrial environments as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Philosophy and Phylogenetic Inference: A Comparison of Likelihood and Parsimony Methods in the Context of Karl Popper's Writings on Corroboration

TL;DR: It is argued that the concept of likelihood in general, and its application to problems of phylogenetic inference in particular, are highly compatible with Popper's philosophy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Failed refutations: further comments on parsimony and likelihood methods and their relationship to Popper's degree of corroboration.

TL;DR: Probabilistic concepts such as degree of corroboration and likelihood provide a more appropriate framework for understanding how phylogenetics conforms with Popper's philosophy of science.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative Evolution of an Archetypal Adaptive Radiation: Innovation and Opportunity in Anolis Lizards.

TL;DR: The results suggest the need for precision in treatments of classic adaptive radiations such as Anolis and further refinement of the concept of adaptive radiation.
