Genome sequence, comparative analysis and haplotype structure of the domestic dog (2005, background): “The overall situation closely resembles the structure for the human genome, although with slightly smaller block size (Supplementary Figs S15–S19 and Supplementary Table S24–26).”
Tribal phylogenetic relationships within Vespertilioninae (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) based on mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data (2010, background): “…of bats and other mammals (Amrine-Madsen et al. 2003; Baker et al. 2003; Eick et al. 2005; Matthee and Davis 2001; Matthee et al. 2001, 2004, 2007; Murphy et al. 2001; Van Den Bussche et al. 2003), and all of these markers have been included in a recent study of the phylogenetic relationships of…”
Fossil Evidence and the Origin of Bats (2005, background): “Instead, molecular studies uniformly place bats in a Laurasiatheria clade (e.g., Miyamoto et al., 2000; Murphy et al., 2001; Arnason et al., 2002; Douady et al., 2002; Van Den Bussche et al., 2002; Van Den Bussche and Hoofer, 2004).”
Evaluating the Mitten-Gliding Hypothesis for Paromomyidae and Micromomyidae (Mammalia, “Plesiadapiformes”) Using Comparative Functional Morphology of New Paleogene Skeletons (2008, background): “…phylogenetic analyses are overwhelmingly consistent in recovering it as the sister-group of Dermoptera (e.g., Liu and Miyamoto, 1999; Liu et al., 2001; Madsen et al., 2001; Murphy et al., 2001a, b; Sargis, 2004, 2007; Van Den Bussche and Hoofer, 2004 Bloch and Silcox, 2006; Bloch et al., 2007).”
Dating the Time of Origin of Major Clades: Molecular Clocks and the Fossil Record (2002, methodology): “…and interordinal relationships until very recently remained poorly constrained with different data sets and different methods of analysis giving contradictory topologies (Liu & Miyamoto 1999, Waddell et al. 1999a, O’Leary & Geisler 1999, Murphy et al. 2001, Liu et al. 2001, Eizirik et al. 2001).”
Island-like radiation of Saussurea (Asteraceae: Cardueae) triggered by uplifts of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. (2009, background): “However, if the latter scenario occurs, the internodes will remain short relative to the average tip nodes within a radiative group, regardless of the number and length of sequences examined, and thus the analysis of more DNA fragments will still fail to resolve the corresponding phylogeny (Murphy e”
Bat Systematics in the Light of Unconstrained Analyses of a Comprehensive Molecular Supermatrix (2018, background): “…morphological evidence (reviewed in Simmons 1994) and by all subsequent molecular or combined phylogenetic analyses (Ammerman and Hillis 1992; Murphy et al. 2001; Springer Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10914-016-9363-8) contains…”
Molecular systematics of armadillos (Xenarthra, Dasypodidae): contribution of maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear genes. (2003, neutral): “Also, molecular surveys have emphasized Xenarthra’s fundamental importance for understanding the origins of placental mammals, by showing that it is among the oldest placental groups with living representatives (Madsen et al., 2001; Murphy et al., 2001a,b; Delsuc et al., 2002).”
