The use of supertree has been largely applied recently, mainly because of its features for analysing lots of different types of data together, as well as uniting different tree topologies without overlapping sets of taxa. Using the Matrix... more
In the context of very extensive phylogenies, the debate concerning the best methodological approach and the growing use of taxonomic congruence is well known. Despite being well documented in the literature by the usage of hypothetical... more
Whereas previous studies have investigated correlates of extinction risk either at global or regional scales, our study explicitly models regional effects of anthropogenic threats and biological traits across the globe. Using phylogenetic... more
Aim Species–body size distributions (SBDs) are plots of species richness across body size classes. They have been linked to energetic constraints, speciation–extinction dynamics and to evolutionary trends. However, little is known about... more
One way to build larger, more comprehensive phylogenies is to combine the vast amount of phylogenetic information already available. We review the two main strategies for accomplishing this (combining raw data versus combining trees), but... more
Closure operations are a useful device in both the theory and practice of tree reconstruction in biology and other areas of classification. These operations take a collection of trees (rooted or unrooted) that classify overlapping sets of... more
Supertree methods can combine information in phylo- genetic trees to yield novel relationships, but matrix rep- resentation with parsimony (MRP) supertree methods (Baum, 1992; Regan, 1992) sometimes return supertrees that include... more
