• Global patterns in the divergence between phylogenetic diversity and species richness in terrestrial birds (2017, methodology): “The phylogenetic data are available based on two taxonomic backbones: those of Hackett et al. (2008) and Ericson (Ericson et al., 2006).”
• Daily torpor and hibernation in birds and mammals (2014, neutral): “We are aware that more recent, albeit controversial, phylogenies of birds are available (e.g. Hackett et al., 2008).”
• Enclosed nests may provide greater thermal than nest predation benefits compared with open nests across latitudes (2017, methodology): “Phylogenetic trees were obtained from www.birdtree.org (Jetz et al. 2012) using the Hackett et al. (2008) backbone and imported into program Mesquite (Maddison & Maddison 2011) where a majority rules consensus tree was constructed based on 1000 trees (Fig.”
• Interspecific variation in fear responses predicts urbanization in birds (2010, methodology): “The comparative analyses relied on a composite phylogeny created by using information in Hackett et al. (2008) and Sibley and Ahlquist (1990), supplemented with Jønsson and Fjeldså (2006) to resolve relationships between some species.”
• New Fossil Penguins (Aves, Sphenisciformes) from the Oligocene of New Zealand Reveal the Skeletal Plan of Stem Penguins (2012, background): “Outgroup representation includes 13 species from the extant sister taxon of Sphenisciformes, Procellariiformes (eg, Hackett et al, 2008 ).”
• Quantitative criteria for species delimitation (2010, background): “These insights are relatively easy to interpret in the case of genera and families, and phylogenetic analyses are therefore revolutionizing higher-level systematics in birds (e.g. Chesser et al. 2007, Hackett et al. 2008).”
