Can three incongruence tests predict when data should be combined?
- C. Cunningham
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 1 July 1997
Advocates of conditional combination have argued that testing for incongruence between data partitions is an important step in data exploration. Unless the partitions have had distinct histories, as… Expand
Arthropod relationships revealed by phylogenomic analysis of nuclear protein-coding sequences
- J. C. Regier, J. Shultz, +5 authors C. Cunningham
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 25 February 2010
The remarkable antiquity, diversity and ecological significance of arthropods have inspired numerous attempts to resolve their deep phylogenetic history, but the results of two decades of intensive… Expand

Abstract Recent glaciation covered the full extent of rocky intertidal habitat along the coasts of New England and the Canadian Maritimes. To test whether this glaciation in fact caused wholesale… Expand
Evolution of king crabs from hermit crab ancestors
- C. Cunningham, N. Blackstone, L. Buss
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 6 February 1992
KING crabs (Family Lithodidae) are among the world's largest arthropods, having a crab-like morphology and a strongly calcified exoskeleton1–6. The hermit crabs, by contrast, have depended on… Expand
Is congruence between data partitions a reliable predictor of phylogenetic accuracy? Empirically testing an iterative procedure for choosing among phylogenetic methods.
- C. Cunningham
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 September 1997
The relationship between phylogenetic accuracy and congruence between data partitions collected from the same taxa was explored for mitochondrial DNA sequences from two well-supported vertebrate… Expand
Class-level relationships in the phylum Cnidaria: molecular and morphological evidence.
- D. Bridge, C. Cunningham, R. Desalle, L. Buss
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 1 July 1995
The evolutionary history of cnidarian life cycles has been debated since the 1880s, with different hypotheses favored even by current textbooks. Contributing to the disagreement is the fact that the… Expand
DIVERSITY IN THE WEAPONS OF SEXUAL SELECTION: HORN EVOLUTION IN THE BEETLE GENUS ONTHOPHAGUS (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE)
- D. Emlen, Jennifer Marangelo, B. Ball, C. Cunningham
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 May 2005
Abstract Both ornaments and weapons of sexual selection frequently exhibit prolific interspecific diversity of form. Yet, most studies of this diversity have focused on ornaments involved with female… Expand
Resolving arthropod phylogeny: exploring phylogenetic signal within 41 kb of protein-coding nuclear gene sequence.
- J. C. Regier, J. Shultz, +8 authors C. Cunningham
- Medicine, Biology
- Systematic biology
- 1 December 2008
This study attempts to resolve relationships among and within the four basal arthropod lineages (Pancrustacea, Myriapoda, Euchelicerata, Pycnogonida) and to assess the widespread expectation that… Expand
INVITED REVIEW: Local adaptation and species segregation in two mussel (Mytilus edulis × Mytilus trossulus) hybrid zones
- C. Riginos, C. Cunningham
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 8 December 2004
Few marine hybrid zones have been studied extensively, the major exception being the hybrid zone between the mussels Mytilus edulis and Mytilus galloprovincialis in southwestern Europe. Here, we… Expand
