TL;DR: A comprehensive molecular phylogeny for bony fishes that includes representatives of all major lineages and the order Perciformes, considered by many a polyphyletic taxonomic waste basket, is defined for the first time as a monophyletic group in the global phylogeny.

TL;DR: This version of the phylogenetic classification of bony fishes is substantially improved, providing resolution for more taxa than previous versions, based on more densely sampled phylogenetic trees.

Taxon sampling and the accuracy of phylogenetic analyses
TL;DR: Thorough taxon sampling is one of the most practical ways to improve the accuracy of phylogenetic estimates, as well as the accuracyof biological inferences that are based on these phylogenetic trees.

The nature of the diversity of Antarctic fishes
TL;DR: The species diversity of the Antarctic fish fauna changed notably during the ≈40 million years from the Eocene to the present, and in some notothenioid clades phyletic diversification was accompanied by considerable morphological and ecological diversification.

Mitogenomic evolution and interrelationships of the Cypriniformes (Actinopterygii: Ostariophysi): the first evidence toward resolution of higher-level relationships of the world's largest freshwater fish clade based on 59 whole mitogenome sequences.

TL;DR: The present study represents the first attempt toward resolution of the higher-level relationships of the world’s largest freshwater-fish clade based on whole mitochondrial genome sequences from 53 cypriniforms plus 6 outgroups, and it is advocated that RY-coding, which takes only transversions into account, effectively removes this likely “noise” from the data set and avoids the apparent lack of signal by retaining all available positions in the dataSet.

A Review of Mesozoic Acanthopterygian Fishes, with Special Reference to Those of the English Chalk
TL;DR: The acanthopterygians of the English Chalk are redescribed, and members of all the genera known by more than one specimen are treated at length, and a new order Ctenothrissiformes is made.

Adaptive evolution of color vision of the Comoran coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae)
TL;DR: Mutagenesis experiments show that each of these coadapted changes is fully explained by two amino acid replacements.

Should We Use Model-Based Methods for Phylogenetic Inference When We Know That Assumptions About Among-Site Rate Variation and Nucleotide Substitution Pattern Are Violated?
Jack Sullivan,David L. Swofford +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that application of increasingly general and complex models would sometimes lead to decreased efciency, despite the fact that themore complex models almost always provide signicantly better access to real data than the simpler models.

Comparison of molecular and paleontological data in diatoms suggests a major gap in the fossil record
TL;DR: It is observed that, over a long time period, the nucleotide substitution rate may in fact have been slightly slower in diatoms than in chordates, and the second hypothesis, which implies pre‐Jurassic diatom evolution, is favoured.
