Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history (2015, background): “Most molecular phylogenetic studies (e.g., Frost et al., 2006; Roelants et al., 2007; Pyron, 2011; Pyron and Wiens, 2011) confirm the monophyly of Lissamphibia.”
Humidity levels drive reproductive modes and phylogenetic diversity of amphibians in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2012, background): “A taxonomic topology at the genus, subfamily and family levels was compiled from the most recent study of amphibian phylogeny proposed by Pyron & Wiens (2011), which contains 2871 species (40% of the known extant species) from 432 genera (85% of the 500 currently recognized extant genera).”
A global assessment of alien amphibian impacts in a formal framework (2016, methodology): “We used a recent phylogeny of all Amphibia to group families at well-supported nodes (Pyron & Wiens, 2011; Pyron, 2014): Discoglossoidea, Hyloidea, Pelobatoidea, Pipoidea, Leiopelmatoidea and Ranoidea (see Measey et al., 2015 for family contents).”
Is diversification rate related to climatic niche width (2015, methodology): “The tree of Gomez-Mestre et al. (2012) is based on multiple nuclear and mitochondrial genes and is largely concordant with previous studies in topology and clade ages (Roelants et al., 2007; Pyron & Wiens, 2011; Wiens 2011a).”
Species delimitation, patterns of diversification and historical biogeography of the Neotropical frog genus Adenomera (Anura, Leptodactylidae) (2014, methodology): “Other selected species of Leptodactylidae and Centrolenidae were used as outgroups (Appendix S1c) following the relationships presented by Pyron & Wiens (2011) and Fouquet et al. (2013).”
Testing the climate variability hypothesis in thermal tolerance limits of tropical and temperate tadpoles (2016, methodology): “We constructed a phylogenetic tree containing the 47 studied species from Pyron & Wiens (2011).”
Species list of the European herpetofauna – 2020 update by the Taxonomic Committee of the Societas Europaea Herpetologica (2020, background): “…European species form a well-defined monophyletic group with a large genetic distance from the five Californian species Hydromantes brunus, H. platycephalus, H. samweli, H. shastae, and H. wintu (Nascetti et al., 1996; Pyron and Wiens, 2011; Chiari et al., 2012b; Bingham, Papenfuss and Wake, 2018).”
Amphibian sensitivity to habitat modification is associated with population trends and species traits (2017, methodology): “We obtained branch lengths from a timecalibrated phylogenetic tree containing 2871 extant amphibian taxa (Pyron & Wiens, 2011).”
Anuran Reproductive Modes: Evolving Perspectives (2015, methodology): “Neither Frost et al. (2006) nor Pyron and Wiens (2011) used life history data in their phylogenetic analyses.”
Selecting optimal partitioning schemes for phylogenomic datasets (2014, neutral): “Pyron_2011 Amphibians Amphibia 18 12712 34 [37] [38]”
Animal biodiversity: An outline of higher-level classification and survey of taxonomic richness (COVER) (2011, methodology): “Most analyses agree in resolving a monophyletic lineage containing three subfamilies (Darst & Cannatella, 2004; Faivovich et al., 2005; Wiens et al., 2005; Frost et al., 2006; Pyron & Wiens, 2011), two of which (Pelodryadinae and Phyllomedusinae) form a clade sister to the third (Hylinae).”
