The Implications of Incongruence between Gene Tree and Species Tree Topologies for Divergence Time Estimation.
Phylogenetic analyses are increasingly being performed with data sets that incorporate hundreds of loci. Due to incomplete lineage sorting, hybridization, and horizontal gene transfer, the gene trees for these loci may often have topologies that differ from each other and from the species tree. The effect of these topological incongruences...Carruthers, Tom ; Sun, Miao ; Baker, William J. ; Smith, Stephen A. ; de Vos, Jurriaan M. …

Global variation in diversification rate and species richness are unlinked in plants.
Species richness varies immensely around the world. Variation in the rate of diversification (speciation minus extinction) is often hypothesized to explain this pattern, while alternative explanations invoke time or ecological carrying capacities as drivers. Focusing on seed plants, the world’s most important engineers of terrestrial ecosystems, we investigated the role...Tietje, Melanie ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Baker, William J. ; Govaerts, Rafaël ; Smith, Stephen A. …

A roadmap for global synthesis of the plant tree of life
Providing science and society with an integrated, up‐to‐date, high quality, open, reproducible and sustainable plant tree of life would be a huge service that is now coming within reach. However, synthesizing the growing body of DNA sequence data in the public domain and disseminating the trees to a diverse audience...
