Las Bexareñas and Their Wills
Amy M. Porter
Nov 04, 2022
The women of San Fernando de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas) on the northern edge of New Spain faced the many challenges of frontier life. The belongings of these women were limited compared to that of women in other parts...

Towards a supertree of Arthropoda:a species-level supertree of the spiny, slipper and coral lobsters (Decapoda
While supertrees have been built for many vertebrate groups (notably birds, mammals and dinosaurs), invertebrates have attracted relatively little attention. The paucity of supertrees of arthropods is particularly surprising...
Fossilization causes organisms to appear erroneously primitive by distorting evolutionary trees
Fossils are vital for calibrating rates of molecular and morphological change through geological time, and are the only direct source of data documenting macroevolutionary transitions. Many evolutionary studies therefore require...

Phylogenetic position of <em>Diania</em> challenged
Liu et al.1 describe a new and remarkable fossil, Diania cactiformis. This animal apparently combined the soft trunk of lobopodians (a group including the extant velvet worms in addition to many Palaeozoic genera) with the...

Global cooling as a driver of diversification in a major marine clade
Climate is a strong driver of global diversity and will become increasingly important as human influences drive temperature changes at unprecedented rates. Here we investigate diversification and speciation trends within a...

Why should we investigate the morphological disparity of plant clades?
Background
Disparity refers to the morphological variation in a sample of taxa, and is distinct from diversity or taxonomic richness. Diversity and disparity are fundamentally decoupled; many groups attain high levels of...

Eumalacostracan phylogeny and total evidence
Background: The phylogeny of Eumalacostraca (Crustacea) remains elusive, despite over a century of interest. Recent morphological and molecular phylogenies appear highly incongruent, but this has not been assessed...
Dental data perform relatively poorly in reconstructing mammal phylogenies
Phylogenetic trees underpin reconstructions of evolutionary history and tests of evolutionary hypotheses. They are inferred from both molecular and morphological data, yet the relative value of morphology has been questioned in...
Sampling diverse characters improves phylogenies
Morphological cladograms of vertebrates are often inferred from greater numbers of characters describing the skull and teeth than from postcranial characters. This is either because the skull is believed to yield characters...

Geographic range did not confer resilience to extinction in terrestrial vertebrates at the end-Triassic crisis
Rates of extinction vary greatly through geological time, with losses particularly concentrated in mass extinctions. Species duration at other times varies greatly, but the reasons for this are unclear. Geographical range...
A machine-compiled microbial supertree from figure-mining thousands of papers
Background
There is a huge diversity of microbial taxa, the majority of which have yet to be fully characterized or described. Plant, animal and fungal taxa are formally named and described in numerous...
