A phylogeny and revised classification of Squamata, including 4161 species of lizards and snakes
TL;DR: A new large-scale phylogeny of squamate reptiles is presented that includes new, resurrected, and modified subfamilies within gymnophthalmid and scincid lizards, and boid, colubrid, and lamprophiid snakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coalescent-based species delimitation in an integrative taxonomy
TL;DR: Along with other tools and data types, coalescent-based species delimitation will play an important role in an integrative taxonomy that emphasizes the identification of species limits and the processes that have promoted lineage diversification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and tempo of diversification in the superradiation of spiny-rayed fishes

TL;DR: Analysis of clade-specific shifts in diversification rates reveal that the hyperdiversity of living acanthomorphs is highlighted by several rapidly radiating lineages including tunas, gobies, blennies, snailfishes, and Afro-American cichlids, indicating there is no single explanation for the success of acanthomorphics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of the Colubroidea (Serpentes) : New evidence from mitochondrial and nuclear genes
TL;DR: This work inferred the phylogeny of colubroids with special reference to the largest family, the Colubridae, and proposed an updated classification based on the reallocation of species as indicated by the inferred phylogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogeny of advanced snakes (Colubroidea), with discovery of a new subfamily and comparison of support methods for likelihood trees.

TL;DR: This study provides the most comprehensive phylogeny of Colubroidea to date, and suggests that SHL values may provide a useful complement to bootstrapping for estimating support on likelihood-based trees.
