Pinniped phylogeny and a new hypothesis for their origin and dispersal.
TLDR
The hypothesis posits that pinnipeds originated on the North American continent with early otarioid and otariid divergences taking place in the northeast Pacific and those of the phocids in coastal areas of southeast N America for later dispersal to colder environments in the N Atlantic and the Arctic Basin, and in Antarctic waters.

Mammalian mitogenomic relationships and the root of the eutherian tree
TLDR
A mitogenomic study based on the set of protein-coding genes from complete mt genomes of 60 mammalian species finds that the previously unrepresented order Dermoptera (flying lemurs) fell within Primates as the sister group of Anthropoidea, making Primates paraphyletic. Expand
Mitogenomic analyses provide new insights into cetacean origin and evolution.
TLDR
The results suggest that the ancestors of recent cetaceans had an explosive evolutionary radiation 30-35 million years before present, and that the claimed morphological similarities between Mesonychia and Cetacea are the result of evolutionary convergence rather than common ancestry. Expand
Molecular analysis of wild and domestic sheep questions current nomenclature and provides evidence for domestication from two different subspecies
TLDR
Genetic distances and molecular datings based on O. canadensis CR and mtDNA protein–coding sequences provide strong evidence for domestications from two mouflon subspecies, and Ust–Urt sheep could be a hybrid population or an O. orientalis species, but belong to different clades. Expand
Mitogenomic relationships of placental mammals and molecular estimates of their divergences.
TLDR
The current estimates of ordinal placental divergences are congruent with recent estimates based on nuclear data, but inconsistent with paleontological notions that have placed the origin of essentially all placental orders within an interval of 5-10 MY in the early Tertiary. Expand
Marsupial relationships and a timeline for marsupial radiation in South Gondwana.
TLDR
The results suggest that marsupials colonized Australia twice from Antarctica/South America and that the divergence between Microbiotheria and its Australian relatives coincided with the geological separation of Antarctica and Australia. Expand
The Complete Mitochondrial DNA Sequence of the Domestic Sheep (Ovis aries) and Comparison with the Other Major Ovine Haplotype
TLDR
The findings suggest that the strains of wild sheep from which domestic sheep originated were more closely related than were the B. primigenius subspecies which gave rise to B. indicus and B. taurus cattle. Expand
Mitogenomic analyses of caniform relationships.
TLDR
The mitogenomic result is inconsistent with that understanding at the same time as it provides insight into the time of the domestication of the dog relative to basal humanMitogenomic divergences. Expand
Molecular Timing of Primate Divergences as Estimated by Two Nonprimate Calibration Points
TLDR
The findings show that recalculation is necessary of all molecular datings based directly or indirectly on a Cercopithecoidea/Hominoidea split 30 MYBP, and all hominoid divergences receive a much earlier dating. Expand
Implementing and testing the multispecies coalescent model: A valuable paradigm for phylogenomics.
TLDR
Many of S&G's criticisms of MSC models are invalidated when concatenation is appropriately viewed as a special case of the MSC, which in turn is aSpecial case of emerging network models in phylogenomics. Expand
