Each of these books can, in its own way, teach readers how to think about Earth's history, and how to apply lessons from the past to our future.

Abstract. Large phylogenetic trees are often unbalanced near the root, with a species-depauperate lineage sister to a far more species-rich clade. The spec

Bringing together contributions that advance our understanding of orchid evolution across taxonomic, temporal, and geographical scales.

Time-calibrated phylogenies provide information on past macroevolutionary history. Time calibration can be obtained from fossil ages or node calibrations in combination with a clock model describing e...

The relative importance of genetic drift versus selection to evolutionary change has long been debated. This debate has mainly focused over long-time-scales (e.g. hundreds of thousands of generations)...

Dozens of wind turbines stand across its treeless ground, spinning day and night in the salt wind.

Alt: A velvet worm, which resembles a centipede crossed with a slug: long red cylindrical body with stubby white legs and darker colored antennae. It's spraying clear liquid from nozzles on either side of its face, projecting past the camera at a surprising level of force.

Human impacts substantially affect our ability to detect and understand natural biodiversity patterns.

Abstract. Recent advances in systematics and evolutionary biology have revealed extraordinary complexity in phylogenetic diversification, challenged our tr
