The Placental Mammal Ancestor and the Post–K-Pg Radiation of Placentals
- Maureen A. OLeary, J. Bloch, +20 authors Andrea L. Cirranello
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 8 February 2013
Let There Be Mammals The timing of the evolution and radiation of placental mammals and their most recent common ancestor has long been debated, with many questions surrounding the relationships of… Expand
Understanding phylogenetic incongruence: lessons from phyllostomid bats
- L. Dávalos, Andrea L. Cirranello, J. Geisler, N. Simmons
- Biology, Medicine
- Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical…
- 14 August 2012
All characters and trait systems in an organism share a common evolutionary history that can be estimated using phylogenetic methods. However, differential rates of change and the evolutionary… Expand
Morphological Diagnoses of Higher-Level Phyllostomid Taxa (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)
- Andrea L. Cirranello, N. Simmons, S. Solari, R. J. Baker
- Biology
- Acta Chiropterologica
- 1 June 2016
Phyllostomidae (New World leaf-nosed bats), the second most speciose chiropteran family, is one of the best-known and wellstudied chiropteran groups. Due to the ecological and morphological diversity… Expand
Higher Level Classification of Phyllostomid Bats with a Summary of DNA Synapomorphies
- R. J. Baker, S. Solari, Andrea L. Cirranello, N. Simmons
- Biology
- Acta Chiropterologica
- 1 June 2016
The family Phyllostomidae is recognized as representing the most extensive radiation known in any mammalian family. Creating a Linnaean classification for this clade has been difficult and… Expand
The Roles of Taxonomy and Systematics in Bat Conservation
- Susan M. Tsang, Andrea L. Cirranello, P. Bates, Nancy B. Simmons
- Biology
- 2016
Taxonomy—the description, naming, and classification of organisms—and systematics—the study of the evolutionary relationships of organisms—are both crucial components in conservation, providing a… Expand
Phylogeny of Molossidae Gervais (Mammalia: Chiroptera) inferred by morphological data
- R. Gregorin, Andrea L. Cirranello
- Biology
- 1 February 2016
Molossidae is a large (roughly 100 species) pantropically distributed clade of swift aerially insectivorous bats for which the phylogeny remains relatively unknown and little studied compared with… Expand
Next-generation phenomics for the Tree of Life
- J. G. Burleigh, Kenzley Alphonse, +25 authors Mengjie Yu
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS currents
- 26 June 2013
The phenotype represents a critical interface between the genome and the environment in which organisms live and evolve. Phenotypic characters also are a rich source of biodiversity data for tree… Expand
Response to Comment on “The Placental Mammal Ancestor and the Post–K-Pg Radiation of Placentals”
- Maureen A. OLeary, J. Bloch, +20 authors Andrea L. Cirranello
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 9 August 2013
Tree-building with diverse data maximizes explanatory power. Application of molecular clock models to ancient speciation events risks a bias against detection of fast radiations subsequent to the… Expand
Crowds Replicate Performance of Scientific Experts Scoring Phylogenetic Matrices of Phenotypes
- Maureen A. O’Leary, Kenzley Alphonse, +17 authors M. Daly
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 2018
Abstract. Scientists building the Tree of Life face an overwhelming challenge to categorize phenotypes (e.g., anatomy, physiology) from millions of living and fossil species. This biodiversity… Expand
