A new frog family (Anura: Terrarana) from South America and an expanded direct-developing clade revealed by molecular phylogeny (2009, positive): “Species composition of the chimeric sequences was guided by the results of previous molecular phylogenetic analyses (Frost et al. 2006; Wiens et al. 2005; Faivovich et al. 2005; Grant et al. 2007; Darst and Cannatella 2004; Guayasamin et al. 2008; Roelants et al. 2007).”
Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history (2015, background): “Divergence between Leiopelmatidae/Ascaphidae and derived frogs and toads (Neobatrachia, plus stem forms), based recent phylogenies (Roelants et al., 2007; Pyron and Wiens, 2012).”
Phylogenetics, divergence times and diversification from three genomic partitions in monocots (2015, background): “Animal lineages experiencing rapid diversification at this time include placental mammals (Bininda-Emonds et al., 2007), amphibians (Roelants et al., 2007), weevils (McKenna et al., 2009) and ants (Moreau et al., 2006).”
Climatic niche conservatism and the evolutionary dynamics in species range boundaries: global congruence across mammals and amphibians (2011, methodology): “…was not an artefact of amphibian families being younger than those of mammals: they are older, whichever amphibian phylogeny is used [amphibians – Roelants et al. (2007): median = 66.1 Ma, Frost et al. (2006): 66.0 Ma, n = 54; mammals: median = 24.7 Ma, n = 101, Mann–Whitney U-test: U = 325…”
Taxon sampling and the accuracy of phylogenetic analyses (2008, methodology): “These various approaches have been applied to a number of biological data sets (e.g., Yang & Yoder, 2003; Smith et al., 2006; Bell, 2007; Hugall et al., 2007; Roelants et al., 2007; Zhou & Holmes, 2007).”
Nine exceptional radiations plus high turnover explain species diversity in jawed vertebrates (2009, background): “For example, although the species richness of anurans is not exceptional given their stem age, it is possible that the diversification rate of crown neobatrachians (not examined here because of insufficient taxonomic sampling), which originate well after crown anurans (9) and contain 96% of the spec”
Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (2007, background): “In the last decades of the 20 century the amphibian extinction rate exceeded the mean extinction rate of the last 350 million years by at least 200 times (Roelants et al. 2007).”
Is diversification rate related to climatic niche width (2015, methodology): “The tree of Gomez-Mestre et al. (2012) is based on multiple nuclear and mitochondrial genes and is largely concordant with previous studies in topology and clade ages (Roelants et al., 2007; Pyron & Wiens, 2011; Wiens 2011a).”
Threatened Amphibians of the World (2008, methodology): “Summaries of the amphibian fauna of the Indomalayan Realm are provided by Bourret (1942), Inger (1999), Iskandar and Colijn (2000), and Zhao (1999).”
A large-scale phylogeny of Amphibia including over 2800 species, and a revised classification of extant frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. (2011, methodology): “Many of the family-level relationships within these three groups remain unchanged from recent estimates (Frost et al., 2006; Pyron, 2011; Roelants et al., 2007; San Mauro, 2010; Wiens, 2007a, 2011).”
Molecular phylogeny of an endemic radiation of Cuban toads (Bufonidae: Peltophryne) based on mitochondrial and nuclear genes (2012, methodology): “time-tree of Roelants et al. (2007) utilized 15 fossil calibrations and five palaeogeographical events, and accounted for uncertainty around each point.”
Angiosperms Helped Put the Rain in the Rainforests: The Impact of Plant Physiological Evolution on Tropical Biodiversity1 (2010, background): “…the angiosperm radiation includes ferns, bryophytes, ants, bees, beetles, mammals, and amphibians (Farrell, 1998; Wilf et al., 2000; Schneider et al., 2004; Moreau et al., 2006; Bininda-Emonds et al., 2007; Roelants et al., 2007; Wilson et al., 2007; Wahlberg et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2009).”
Phylogenetic systematics of Glassfrogs (Amphibia: Centrolenidae) and their sister taxon Allophryne ruthveni (2009, background): “Centrolenidae, Allophrynidae, and Neobatrachia The phylogenetic position of Centrolenidae within the diversity of Neobatrachia has been debated but not resolved with confidence either by molecular studies (Austin et al. 2002; Biju & Bossuyt 2003; Darst & Cannatella 2004; Faivovich et al. 2005; Wiens”
