A Phylogeny and Timescale for Marsupial Evolution Based on Sequences for Five Nuclear Genes (2008, background): “In contrast to DNA hybridization studies (Springer and Kirsch 1991; Kirsch et al. 1997), which supported Australasian possum monophyly (i.e., Phalangeriformes), our results argue against the monophyly of this clade.”
Seeing the forest for the trees: partitioning ecological and phylogenetic components of Bergmann's rule in European Carnivora (2007, background): “Ruggiero and Hawkins (2006) recently argued that a major limitation in understanding macroecological patterns is the inability to quantify phylogenetic patterns in geographical space (Kidd and Ritchie 2006).”
A Molecular Phylogeny of Living Primates (2011, background): “The greatest proportion of phylogenetically informative sites occurred in Y-linked genes (56%) compared with regions sequenced from the X-chromosome (40%) and autosomes (42%) (Table 4, Table S4), a finding also observed in carnivores [6,7].”

Mitochondrial genomes reveal an explosive radiation of extinct and extant bears near the Miocene-Pliocene boundary (2008, positive): “such as the cats [ 32 ] and procyonids [33], as well as in bird families like the woodpeckers”
Long in the tooth: evolution of sabertooth cat cranial shape (2008, background): “Jaw length was chosen instead of an alternative measure of size, because jaw length determines the amount of canine clearance for a given angle of jaw opening (Kiltie 1984, 1988).”
Niche partitioning and species coexistence in a Neotropical felid assemblage. (2010, background): “…felids constitute a monophyletic clade that has suffered a relatively recent radiation (Bininda-Emonds et al., 1999; Sunquist and Sunquist, 2002; Johnson et al., 2006), for which they constitute an appropriate model to understand the mechanisms through which closely related and morphogically…”
Craniodental indicators of prey size preference in the Felidae (2009, methodology): “Nevertheless, two recent studies of extant felid relationships, one morphological (Mattern & McLennan, 2000) and one molecular (Johnson et al., 2006), find the large cat Pantherine lineage to be basal with small cat lineages originating more recently.”
Eastward Ho: phylogeographical perspectives on colonization of hosts and parasites across the Beringian nexus (2007, background): “…across the land bridge connecting Asia and North America, however, was possible for much of the Tertiary (Hopkins et al., 1982), so phylogenetic analyses at deeper taxonomic levels are needed to test the generality of our conclusions relating to the late Neogene (e.g. Johnson et al., 2006).”

A Dated Phylogeny of Marsupials Using a Molecular Supermatrix and Multiple Fossil Constraints (2008, background): “For example, they enable assessment of whether divergences coincided with periods of environmental change, such as climatic variations (e.g., Delsuc et al. 2004; Douady and Douzery 2003) and fluctuations in sea level (Johnson et al. 2006; Mercer and Roth 2003).”
