Molecular phylogenetics: principles and practice (2012, methodology): “…are used to describe relationships between paralogues in a gene family 1 , histories of populations 2 , the evolutionary and epidemiological dynamics of pathogens 3,4 , the genealogical relationship of somatic cells during differentiation and cancer development 5 and the evolution of language 6 .”
Cultural Evolution: A Review of Theory, Findings and Controversies (2015, methodology): “Moreover, internal branch lengths were used to identify the specific pulses and pauses in the Austronesian expansion, which were then linked to the emergence of specific technologies such as outrigger canoes that allowedmigration from Taiwan to the Philippines (Gray et al. 2009).”

Diffusion of Lexical Change in Social Media (2012, background): “Research on reconstructing language phylogenies from cognate tables is also related [40–43], but rather than a phylogenetic process in which languages separate and then develop in relative independence, we have closely-related varieties of a single language, which are in constant interaction.”
Learning about human population history from ancient and modern genomes (2011, background): “Linguistic and archaeological data have consistently pointed towards the large impact of a recent expansion of a population of Austronesian -speakers from East Asia (probably Taiwan); it is thought that this population may have spread south through the Philippines and Indonesia, and then eastward a”
