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.

Phylogenetic classification of bony fishes.
Ricardo Betancur-R.,Ricardo Betancur-R.,Edward O. Wiley,Edward O. Wiley,Gloria Arratia,Arturo Acero,Nicolas Bailly,Masaki Miya,Guillaume Lecointre,Guillermo Ortí,Guillermo Ortí +10 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

The phylogenetic relationships of the suborder Acanthuroidei (Teleostei: Perciformes) based on molecular and morphological evidence.

TL;DR: A parametric bootstrap suggests the possibility that the paraphyly of Acanthuridae indicated by the molecular analyses is the result of long-branch attraction, and the disagreement between molecular and morphological data on the relationships of the basal acanthuroids and its putative sister taxon is unresolved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different models, different trees: the geographic origin of PTLV-I.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that unequal rates of evolution along HTLV-I and ST LV-I lineages have occurred throughout evolutionary time, thus calling into question the use of pairwise distances to assign ancestry.

Compositional bias in DNA.
TL;DR: The recent large increase in the availability of completely sequenced genomes can give new insight into evolution processes involved in these compositional biases.

Dismantling the trachinoidei: evidence of a scorpaenoid relationship for the Champsodontidae
Randall D. Mooi,G. David Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Champsodontids are hypothesized to be members of the perciform suborder Scorpaenoidei, based largely on the synapomorphy of a parietal spine with an opening for passage of the supratemporal sensory canal, a unique condition of champsodonitds and some scorpaenoids.
