Molecular phylogenetic analysis, calibrated with fossils, resolves the time frame of the mammalian radiation and diversification analyses suggest important roles for the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution and KPg mass extinction in opening up ecospace that promoted interordinal and intraordinal diversification, respectively.

Dispersal-vicariance analyses suggest that the most parsimonious solution explaining the current geographic distribution of the Leporids involves an Asian or North American origin for the LepOrids followed by at least nine dispersals and five vicariance events.

Mismatch distribution analyses revealed possible past refugia for roan in the west and east of Africa and lent strong support for the separation of West African populations from the remainder of the populations studied across the African continent.
Reciprocal chromosome painting among human, aardvark, and elephant (superorder Afrotheria) reveals the likely eutherian ancestral karyotype

- 24 January 2003
The comparative chromosome maps presented between human and these Afrotherian species provide further insight into mammalian genome organization and comparative genomic data for theAfrotheria, one of the four major evolutionary clades postulated for the Eutheria.

The molecular data identified three evolutionary lineages that broadly correspond to the three extant subfamilies and suggest that the genus Muscardinus, previously regarded as falling within the Glirinae, should be included in the Leithiinae.
Multidirectional cross-species painting illuminates the history of karyotypic evolution in Perissodactyla

The first genome-wide comparative chromosome maps of African rhinoceroses, four tapir species, four equine species, and humans are reported, revealing a striking switch between the slowly evolving ceratomorphs and extremely rapidly evolving equids.
Cytochrome b phylogeny of the family bovidae: resolution within the alcelaphini, antilopini, neotragini, and tragelaphini.

- 1 June 1999
All evidence suggests that the Alcelaphini form a monophyletic group; there was no support for the recognition of the Lichtenstein's hartebeest in a separate genus (Sigmoceros), and the acceptance of the previously suggested Al Celaphus is recommended for this species.
Phylogenomics of the genus Mus (Rodentia; Muridae): extensive genome repatterning is not restricted to the house mouse

- BiologyProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 7 December 2006
By integrating closely related species within Mus, this study unambiguously resolve for the first time the long-standing controversial phylogeny and trace the evolution of genome organization in the house mouse.
Cytogenetics and cladistics.

- BiologySystematic Biology
- 1 June 2004
Chromosomal data have been underutilized in phylogenetic investigations despite the obvious potential that cytogenetic studies have to reveal both structural and functional homologies among taxa. In…
