A parametric method, dispersal–extinction–cladogenesis (DEC), is compared against a parsimony‐based method, disperseal–vicariance analysis (DIVA), which does not incorporate branch lengths but accounts for phylogenetic uncertainty through a Bayesian empirical approach (Bayes‐DIVA).
The phylogeny and evolution of Figitidae (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea)

The general evolutionary trend is for early figitids to be parasitoids of gall inducing insects, with later host shifts occurring to exposed hosts associated with aphids.

These analyses show that Lanceocercata and their sister group, the Stephanacridini, probably diverged from their South American relatives, the Cladomorphinae, as a result of the separation of Australia, Antarctica and South America.

Improved taxon sampling and analyses within an explicit spatiotemporal framework are elucidated to elucidate biogeographical patterns of dispersal and diversification within this diverse clade of passerine birds.

This study provides a time-scale for the evolution of the major clades of passerines using seven nuclear markers, five taxonomically well-determined passerine fossils, and an updated interpretation of the New Zealand split from Antarctica 85–52 Mya in a Bayesian relaxed-clock approach, suggesting that the diversification of Passeriformes began in the late Cretaceous or early Cenozoic.
