Journal ArticleDOI
Retroposon analysis of major cetacean lineages : the monophyly of toothed whales and the paraphyly of river dolphins
Masato Nikaido,Fumio Matsuno,Healy Hamilton,Robert L. Brownell,Ying Cao,Wang Ding,Zhu Zuoyan,Andrew M. Shedlock,R. Ewan Fordyce,Masami Hasegawa,Norihiro Okada +10 more
TL;DR: The combination of SINE and flanking sequence analysis suggests a topology and set of divergence times for odontocete relationships, offering alternative explanations for several long-standing problems in cetacean evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic relationships among eutherian orders estimated from inferred sequences of mitochondrial proteins: instability of a tree based on a single gene.
TL;DR: The overall evidence of the maximum likelihood analysis suggests that Rodentia is an outgroup to the other four eutherian orders and that Cetacea and Artiodactyla form a clade with Carnivora as a sister taxon irrespective of the assumed model for amino acid substitutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conflict among individual mitochondrial proteins in resolving the phylogeny of eutherian orders.
Ying Cao,Axel Janke,Peter J. Waddell,Michael Westerman,Osamu Takenaka,Shigenori Murata,Norihiro Okada,Svante Pääbo,Masami Hasegawa +8 more
TL;DR: The results and a site-by-site examination of the sequences clearly suggest that convergent or parallel evolution has occurred in ND1 between primates and rodents and/or between ferungulates and the outgroup.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Novel Phylogenetic Methods to Evaluate Mammalian mtDNA, Including Amino Acid-Invariant Sites-LogDet plus Site Stripping, to Detect Internal Conflicts in the Data, with Special Reference to the Positions of Hedgehog, Armadillo, and Elephant
TL;DR: Congruence arguments to support elephant and armadillo together are striking, suggesting a superordinal group composed of Xenarthra and African endemic mammals, which in turn may be near the root of the placental subtree.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial phylogenetics and evolution of mysticete whales.
Takeshi Sasaki,Takeshi Sasaki,Masato Nikaido,Healy Hamilton,Mutsuo Goto,Hidehiro Kato,Naohisa Kanda,Luis A. Pastene,Ying Cao,R. Ewan Fordyce,Masami Hasegawa,Norihiro Okada,Norihiro Okada +12 more
TL;DR: The mtDNA analysis suggests that four lineages exist within the clade of Eschrichtiidae + Balaenopteridae, including a sister relationship between the humpback and fin whales, and a monophyletic group formed by the blue, sei, and Bryde's whales, each of which represents a newly recognized phylogenetic relationship in Mysticeti.
