The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Phylogenetic endemism in terrestrial mammals (2015, methodology): “Due to lack of molecular data, over 25% of the supertree nodes are unresolved, resulting in potentially poor estimates of branch lengths in parts of the tree, specifically a bias toward older node ages (Kuhn et al., 2011).”
Tree of Life Reveals Clock-Like Speciation and Diversification (2014, methodology): “A birth–death (BD) polytomy resolution approach was applied to our TTOL (Kuhn et al. 2011), and the resulting tree was used for the diversification rate analyses.”
Inferring the mammal tree: Species-level sets of phylogenies for questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation (2019, methodology): “the MRP supertree (1,000 trees; [87]), DNA supertree (1,000 trees; [92]), and consensus time-”
Diversitree: comparative phylogenetic analyses of diversification in R (2012, methodology): “ese were generated by Tyler Kuhn, using the approach in Kuhn et al. (2011). Here, we will use just the rst tree to demonstrate the methods.”
