Divergence time estimation of Galliformes based on the best gene shopping scheme of ultraconserved elements
TLDR
A robust galliform backbone time tree that can be combined with more fossil records to further facilitate the understanding of the evolution of Galliformes and can be used as a resource for comparative and biogeographic studies in this group.
Exploring potentialities of avian genomic research in Nepalese Himalayas
TLDR
This study reviewed the studies in the last two decades that used molecular methods to study the biodiversity in Nepal to examine the ongoing research trend and focus and highlights avian fauna as a potential future study system in this region that can be an excellent resource to explore key biological questions.
Inter-glacial isolation caused divergence of cold-adaptedspecies: the case of the snow partridge
Deciphering the role of climatic oscillations in species divergence helps us understand the mechanisms that shape global biodiversity. The cold-adapted species may have expanded their distribution…
The evolution of sexual dichromatism in a large radiation of landfowls: re-examining the female-biased selection in Wallace’s model
TLDR
It is shown that the evolutionary direction of sexual dichromatism is negatively correlated with colour complexity in females but not males, and the evolutionary rates ofSexual dichromeatism are positively correlated with the evolutionary Rates of Colour complexity in both sexes.

Assessing Phylogenetic Relationships among Galliformes: A Multigene Phylogeny with Expanded Taxon Sampling in Phasianidae
TLDR
The results corroborated recent studies describing relationships among the major families, and provided further evidence that the traditional division of the largest family, the Phasianidae into two major groups (“pheasants” and “partridges”) is not valid.
An augmented supermatrix phylogeny of the avian family Picidae reveals uncertainty deep in the family tree.
Does more sequence data improve estimates of galliform phylogeny? Analyses of a rapid radiation using a complete data matrix
TLDR
Analysis of a multi-locus data matrix comprising over 15,000 sites, primarily from nuclear introns but also including three mitochondrial regions, from 46 galliform taxa with all gene regions sampled for all taxa appears to support a robust backbone for this order.
Adding time‐calibrated branch lengths to the Asteraceae supertree
TLDR
D divergence times within the largest family of flowering plants, namely the Asteraceae, are reviewed to estimate time‐calibrated branch lengths in the supertree of this lineage and the impact of different methods of branch length assignment on the total number of transitions between states in the reconstruction of sexual system evolution in Asteraceae was investigated.
Avoiding Missing Data Biases in Phylogenomic Inference: An Empirical Study in the Landfowl (Aves: Galliformes).
TLDR
These analyses provide a well-resolved phylogeny of landfowl, including strong support for previously problematic relationships such as those among junglefowl (Gallus), and clarify the position of two enigmatic galliform genera not sampled in previous molecular phylogenetic studies.
A Phylogenomic Supertree of Birds
TLDR
This time-calibrated supertree supports radiation of all three major avian clades near the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary and will permit the continued addition of taxa to this supertree as new phylogenomic data are published, and it could be applied to other taxa as well.

Resolving the Avian Tree of Life from Top to Bottom: The Promise and Potential Boundaries of the Phylogenomic Era
TLDR
It is proposed that the dawning era of whole-genome phylogenetics will only resolve the remaining relationships, if data quality is improved, information from other sources is exploited, and more is learned about the functional and evolutionary landscape of avian genomes.
A phylogenetic supertree of the fowls (Galloanserae, Aves)
TLDR
The supertree represents one of the most comprehensive estimates for the Anseriformes and Galliformes to date, including 376 species, and indicated that more than 30% of the polytypic genera examined were not monophyletic, suggesting that results from genus‐level comparative studies using the average of the constituent species’ traits should be interpreted with caution until analogous species‐ level comparative studies are available.
