Abstract: Despite a relatively vast accumulation of molecular data, the timing of diversification of modern bird lineages remains elusive. Accurate dating of the origination of Telluraves-a clade of birds defined by their arboreality-is of particular interest,… read more here.

Abstract: The incorporation of stratigraphic data into phylogenetic analysis has a long history of debate, but is not currently standard practice for paleontologists. Bayesian tip-dated (or morphological clock) phylogenetic methods have returned these arguments to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab010
Abstract: We integrated phylogenetic, biogeographic and palaeontological data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the cuckoo wasps. We propose a phylogenetic hypothesis based on a comprehensive morphological study resulting in 300 characters coded for both living… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.182062
Abstract: Recently, comprehensive morphological datasets including nearly all the well-recognized Mesozoic birds became available, making it feasible for statistically rigorous methods to unveil finer evolutionary patterns during early avian evolution. Here, we exploited the advantage of… read more here.
