Mammals - VertLife
We investigated global speciation-rate variation across crown Mammalia using a novel time-scaled phylogeny (N=5,911 species, ~70% with DNA), finding that trait- and latitude-associated speciation has caused uneven species richness among groups.
In order to understand the origin of mammals, we have to look farther back, as I said, ~360 MYA to the relationships among tetrapod vertebrates. We can mark evolutionary changes along this phylogeny; the evolution of limbs, the evolution of the amnion, etc.
Inferring the mammal tree: Species-level sets of phylogenies for …
2019年12月4日 · Our novel, time-calibrated phylogeny incorporating all extant and described species of mammals now enables renewed focus on the causal factors underlying the historical tempo of evolutionary processes.
A species-level timeline of mammal evolution integrating ... - Nature
2021年12月22日 · Here we develop a Bayesian molecular-clock dating approach to estimate a timetree of 4,705 mammal species integrating information from 72 mammal genomes. We show that increasingly larger...
Whole-genome phylogeny of mammals: Evolutionary information in ... - PNAS
2009年10月6日 · In this work, we discuss the phylogenic relationship among four partitions of the whole genomic sequence: exonic (all protein-coding exons), intronic (all introns), nongenic (all intergenic-sequence), and whole (entire-sequence) genomes.
Mammal madness: is the mammal tree of life not yet resolved?
2016年7月19日 · Most molecular phylogenetic studies place all placental mammals into four superordinal groups, Laurasiatheria (e.g. dogs, bats, whales), Euarchontoglires (e.g. humans, rodents, colugos), Xenarthra (e.g. armadillos, anteaters) and Afrotheria (e.g. elephants, sea cows, tenrecs), and estimate that these clades last shared a common ancestor 90–110 m...
Mammalia - Tree of Life Web Project
A multi-institution collaboration sponsored by the National Science Foundation to build a phylogenetic tree for mammals using data from molecules, anatomy, behavior and physiology of both living and fossil mammals.
Phylogenetic Trees and the Future of Mammalian Biodiversity
Phylogenies describe the origins and history of species. However, they can also help to predict species’ fates and so can be useful tools for managing the future of biodiversity. This chapter starts by sketching how phylogenetic, geographic, and trait information can be combined to elucidate present mammalian diversity patterns and how they arose.
The Mammal Family Tree | Science - AAAS
2011年10月28日 · Most mammals that have ever lived are long extinct, their remains too old to yield DNA, and comparative morphology will be needed to place them on a backbone molecular phylogeny. The true shape of the mammal tree of life cannot be appreciated until many fossil lineages are placed on the tree.
The shape of mammalian phylogeny: patterns, processes and scales
2011年9月9日 · We next show that mammalian phylogeny is similar in shape to a large set of published phylogenies of other vertebrate, arthropod and plant groups, suggesting that many clades may diversify under a largely shared set of ‘rules’.
