Phylogenomics recovers multiple origins of portable case-making in caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera), the world's most common underwater architects

This study uses phylogenomic data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of caddisflies, finding that portable case-making evolved independently in three lineages.

Evidence for ecological tuning of novel anuran biofluorescent signals

The paper documents biofluorescence in tropical amphibians and finds evidence that these signals are ecologically tuned to twilight light conditions and frog sensory systems.

Populating a Continent: Phylogenomics Reveal the Timing of Australian Frog Diversification

The paper uses phylogenomic data to estimate the timing of diversification among Australian frogs, revealing varying ages of different lineages and their colonization history.

Multiple bursts of speciation in Madagascar's endangered lemurs

This study investigates the speciation patterns in lemurs, revealing multiple diversification bursts and high genomic introgression rates, which contribute to their diversity and have implications for conservation.

Biogeography and the evolution of acoustic communication in the polyploid North American gray treefrog complex

This study examines the biogeography and acoustic communication evolution in polyploid North American gray treefrogs, finding glacial influences on speciation and acoustic signal divergence.

The Chalcidoidea bush of life - a massive radiation blurred by mutational saturation

This study reconstructs the phylogeny of the hyperdiverse Chalcidoidea wasps, identifying classification issues and evolutionary shifts linked to angiosperm diversification.

Gene flow in phylogenomics: Sequence capture resolves species limits and biogeography of Afromontane forest endemic frogs from the Cameroon Highlands

This study uses genomic sequence capture to resolve species boundaries and biogeography of six mtDNA lineages in Cameroon Highlands frogs, identifying a new species and detecting hybridization patterns.

Phylogenomics of Ichneumonoidea (Hymenoptera) and implications for evolution of mode of parasitism and viral endogenization

This study uses phylogenomic data to explore the evolution of parasitism and viral endogenization in Ichneumonoidea, finding two independent acquisitions of polydnaviruses.

The Perfect Storm: Gene Tree Estimation Error, Incomplete Lineage Sorting, and Ancient Gene Flow Explain the Most Recalcitrant Ancient Angiosperm Clade, Malpighiales

This study investigates the factors causing unresolved phylogenetic relationships in Malpighiales, finding that gene tree heterogeneity arises from incomplete lineage sorting, gene tree estimation error, and ancient gene flow.

Phylogenomics of monitor lizards and the role of competition in dictating body size disparity

The paper investigates how competition among monitor lizards in Australia influenced their body size diversity using phylogenomic and comparative methods.

Whole genome duplication potentiates inter-specific hybridisation and niche shifts in Australian burrowing frogs Neobatrachus

This study investigates polyploidy in Neobatrachus frogs, finding that tetraploids have higher genetic diversity and may avoid climate-induced habitat loss compared to diploids.

A phylogenomic framework, evolutionary timeline, and genomic resources for comparative studies of decapod crustaceans

This paper presents a phylogenomic framework for decapod crustaceans using a new enrichment kit, revealing evolutionary timelines and genomic resources for comparative studies.

Resolving Rapid Radiations Within Angiosperm Families Using Anchored Phylogenomics

The paper uses anchored phylogenomics to resolve rapid radiations in angiosperms, showing that nuclear data outperforms plastid and nrDNA markers in resolving short backbone internodes.
