Multispecies coalescent delimits structure, not species (2017, result): “This process is in contrast to commonly applied birth–death models, in which speciation is abstracted as an instantaneous event, such that all divergent lineages are treated as immediately forming true species (22).”
The Generification of the Fossil Record (2014, background): “There is a widespread perception, however, that many fossil genera are not monophyletic (e.g., Raup and Boyajian 1988; Raup 1991a; Sepkoski and Kendrick 1993; Foote 1996; Foote and Sepkoski 1999; Nee 2006; for an empirical evaluation, see Smith and Patterson 1988; Smith 1994).”
Woody Plant Diversity, Evolution, and Ecology in the Tropics: Perspectives from Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests (2009, background): “…the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (e.g., Latch et al. 2008), linkage disequilibrium (e.g., Ramirez-Soriano et al. 2008), coalescent theory (e.g., Nee 2006), dN/dS ratios (e.g., Rocha et al. 2006), the MacDonald-Kreitman test (e.g., Nielsen 2005), and isolation by distance models (e.g., Grefen…”
Speciation in coral-reef fishes (2008, background): “time to identify periods of accelerated (or decelerated) diversification for two main reasons: (1) the y-axis (number of lineages) should be in a logarithmic scale; more species are likely to appear if there are many to begin with, and a simple plot always results in accelerated rates towards the pr”
paleotree: an R package for paleontological and phylogenetic analyses of evolution (2012, methodology): “The main simulation function in paleotree is simFossil-Taxa , which simulates diversiﬁcation under a birth–death model (Kendall 1948; Nee 2006).”
Palaeotropical origins, boreotropical distribution and increased rates of diversification in a clade of edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms (Amanita section Caesareae) (2015, background): “Phylogenetic trees are often interpreted as signature representations of past evolutionary histories, including modes of diversification (Nee, 2006).”
Early evolutionary history of the flowering plant family Annonaceae: steady diversification and boreotropical geodispersal (2011, background): “Such patterns are generally associated with a constant rate of diversification (Nee et al., 1994; Nee, 2006; Ricklefs, 2007).”
Macroevolutionary patterns in the evolutionary radiation of archosaurs (Tetrapoda: Diapsida) (2010, neutral): “This null expectation is usually based on an equal-rates birth–death model, which assumes that each lineage has an equal, but independent, probability of splitting at any given time (see Chan & Moore 2002, Nee 2006, Ricklefs 2007 and Purvis 2008 for more details).”
