Phylogenomic assessment of microhylid frogs reveals widespread taxonomic confusion in the Asterophryinae and establishes the timing of diversification in Australia

Ian G. Brennan, Conrad J. Hoskin, Stephen J. Richards…·J. Scott Keogh

This study uses phylogenomic data to clarify the evolutionary history of microhylid frogs, revealing taxonomic issues in the Asterophryinae subfamily and timing of diversification in Australia.

Evolutionary bursts drive morphological novelty in the world's largest skinks

Ian G. Brennan, David G. Chapple, J. Scott Keogh, Stephen C. Donnellan

This study investigates the tempo and mode of morphological evolution in skinks, finding that most traits evolve conservatively but rare bursts of rapid change produce novel morphologies.
