THE AMPHIBIAN TREE OF LIFE
- D. Frost, T. Grant, +16 authors W. Wheeler
- Biology
- 2006
Abstract The evidentiary basis of the currently accepted classification of living amphibians is discussed and shown not to warrant the degree of authority conferred on it by use and tradition. A new… Expand
Broad phylogenomic sampling improves resolution of the animal tree of life
- C. Dunn, A. Hejnol, +15 authors G. Giribet
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 10 April 2008
Long-held ideas regarding the evolutionary relationships among animals have recently been upended by sometimes controversial hypotheses based largely on insights from molecular data. These new… Expand
SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE FROG FAMILY HYLIDAE, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HYLINAE: PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS AND TAXONOMIC REVISION
- J. Faivovich, C. Haddad, Paulo C A Garcia, D. Frost, J. A. Campbell, W. Wheeler
- Biology
- 27 December 2005
Abstract Hylidae is a large family of American, Australopapuan, and temperate Eurasian treefrogs of approximately 870 known species, divided among four subfamilies. Although some groups of Hylidae… Expand
OPTIMIZATION ALIGNMENT: THE END OF MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT IN PHYLOGENETICS?
- W. Wheeler
- Biology
- 1 March 1996
A method is described to assess directly the number of DNA sequence transformations, evolutionary events, required by a phylogenetic topology without the use of multiple sequence alignment. This is… Expand
PHYLOGENETIC SYSTEMATICS OF DART-POISON FROGS AND THEIR RELATIVES (AMPHIBIA: ATHESPHATANURA: DENDROBATIDAE)
- T. Grant, D. Frost, +7 authors W. Wheeler
- Biology
- 1 December 2006
Abstract The known diversity of dart-poison frog species has grown from 70 in the 1960s to 247 at present, with no sign that the discovery of new species will wane in the foreseeable future. Although… Expand
Assessing the root of bilaterian animals with scalable phylogenomic methods
- A. Hejnol, Matthias Obst, +14 authors C. Dunn
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 22 December 2009
A clear picture of animal relationships is a prerequisite to understand how the morphological and ecological diversity of animals evolved over time. Among others, the placement of the acoelomorph… Expand
POY version 4: phylogenetic analysis using dynamic homologies
- Andrés Varón, L. Vinh, W. Wheeler
- Biology
- 1 February 2010
We present POY version 4, an open source program for the phylogenetic analysis of morphological, prealigned sequence, unaligned sequence, and genomic data. POY allows phylogenetic inference when not… Expand
The Strepsiptera problem: phylogeny of the holometabolous insect orders inferred from 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA sequences and morphology.
- M. Whiting, J. C. Carpenter, Q. Wheeler, W. Wheeler
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 March 1997
Phylogenetic relationships among the holometabolous insect orders were inferred from cladistic analysis of nucleotide sequences of 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) (85 exemplars) and 28S rDNA (52 exemplars)… Expand
SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT, PARAMETER SENSITIVITY, AND THE PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF MOLECULAR DATA
- W. Wheeler
- Biology
- 1 September 1995
The dependence of the results of molecular phylogenetic sequence analysis (both align ment and cladogram construction) on variation in analytical parameters is examined. Phylogenetic analyses of… Expand
The Phylogeny of the Extant Hexapod Orders
- W. Wheeler, M. Whiting, Q. Wheeler, J. Carpenter
- Biology
- 1 June 2001
Morphological and molecular data are marshalled to address the question of hexapod ordinal relationships. The combination of 275 morphological variables, 1000 bases of the small subunit nuclear rDNA… Expand
