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.

Teleostean Interrelationships, Morphological Function and Evolutionary Inference
TL;DR: A current best estimate of the interrelationships of the main groups of teleosts is used as a basis for evaluating the transformations of feeding and locomotor mechanisms and results are contrasted with familiar though unsupported adaptationist statements about the relative importance of locomotor and feeding mechanisms.

Secondary structure and conserved motifs of the frequently sequenced domains IV and V of the insect mitochondrial large subunit rRNA gene.
TL;DR: Over 400 partial insect mitochondrial large subunit (mit LSU) sequences are analysed in order to identify conserved motifs and secondary structures for domains IV and V of this gene to facilitate the alignment of other insect mit LSU sequences.

Molecular phylogenetics and biogeography of galaxiid fishes (Osteichthyes: Galaxiidae): dispersal, vicariance, and the position of Lepidogalaxias salamandroides.
TL;DR: The species-rich genus Galaxias is shown to be polyphyletic and the generic taxonomy of the Galaxiinae is reassessed in the light of phylogenetic relationships, and the loss of this migratory phase may be a major cause of speciation.

The ‘evolutionary signal’ of homoplasy in proteincoding gene sequences and its consequences for a priori weighting in phylogeny
TL;DR: The results obtained from a data set of 32 sequences of Artiodactyla indicate that evolution of the cytochrome b is governed by differential constraints between the six substitutions-types, between the three codon-positions, and between the two mtDNA strands.
