This paper demonstrates that SAR11 subclade V is synonymous with the AEGEAN-169 clade and shows they have distinct metabolic capabilities compared to SAR11.

This study generates a phylogeny of marine fishes in the Carangoidei clade using UCEs and finds widespread sympatry among sister species pairs.

The paper uses genomic data and historical records to determine that Cuban bobwhites originated from hybridization between introduced lineages from southern Mexico and the southeastern USA, arriving in Cuba between the 12th and 20th centuries.

This study presents the most comprehensive pangenomic analysis of SAR11 subclade IIIa, revealing ecological and metabolic differentiation across its subgroups and bridging marine and freshwater adaptations.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of historical specimens in resolving subspecies-level phylogenetic relationships in New World quails using ultraconserved elements, finding that while species-level relationships are well-supported, subspecies-level discordance can be mitigated by analyzing subclades.

This study investigates the morphological expansion of spiny-rayed fishes after the K-Pg extinction, finding a prolonged diversification driven by body elongation and lineage radiation throughout the Cenozoic.

This study evaluates species delimitation in microendemic frogs using phylogenomic data, finding that adding more loci has a stronger impact on model support than prioritizing informative loci.

The paper designs a bait set to enrich 2,708 ultraconserved nuclear loci from ostariophysan fishes and tests its utility across various phylogenetic scales.

This paper develops a pipeline to recover allele sequences from sequence capture data and shows that phased allele sequences improve phylogenetic accuracy compared to contig sequences.

The paper isolates and genomes the first freshwater SAR11 (LD12) bacterium, revealing metabolic features and evolutionary adaptations to freshwater environments.

This study uses phylogenomic data to support a scenario of diversification-by-isolation in sky islands of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest due to climatic stability.

The study examines conflicting evolutionary histories between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in New World Myotis using UCE data and mitochondrial genomes.
