Early evolutionary history of the flowering plant family Annonaceae: steady diversification and boreotropical geodispersal (2011, unknown): “Taxa with a high proportion of missing characters can be included successfully in phylogenetic analyses (Wiens, 2003; Wiens & Moen, 2008), and the supermatrix approach is often used for family-wide phylogenies (Baker et al., 2009; Couvreur et al., 2010) as it allows the inclusion of data from…”
Resolving Difficult Phylogenetic Questions: Why More Sequences Are Not Enough (2011, background): “5% of the characters in [2] and 81% in [46]), constitute an additional unpredictable issue, as they might further erode statistical power and sometimes enhance tree reconstruction artifacts [38,42] (see Text S1 and Figure S11).”
Time Tree of Rubiaceae: Phylogeny and Dating the Family, Subfamilies, and Tribes (2009, methodology): “We relied on studies such as that of Wiens and Moen (2008), suggesting that even highly incompletely sequenced taxa can be safely included in Bayesian phylogenetic analyses.”
