Platyrrhine phylogeny has been investigated repeatedly with morphological characters and DNA nuclear gene sequences, with partially inconsistent results. Given the finding in the past decade that the mitochondrial genome is a potentially valuable source of phylogenetic information, we gathered DNA s

Tests of a sample of 206 cladograms of mammals show that morphological data seem to predict phylogenies that match the known fossil record better than molecular trees. Three metrics that assess the rank order of branching points, the stratigraphic consistency of those nodes, and the ratio of ghost r
The four orders of eutherian mammals which are traditionally placed in the superorder Archonta [Chiroptera (microbats and megabats), Dermoptera (flying lemurs), Primates (primates), and Scandentia (tree shrews)] are among the best-studied taxa of their infraclass from both the molecular and morpholo
Seed beetles belonging to the Old World genus Caryedon feed in the seeds of various Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, and Combretaceae. In an attempt to resolve broad phylogenetic relationships within the genus, we obtained 332 base pair sequences of mitochondrial 12S ribosomal DNA and morphological da
