Towards a phylogenetic nomenclature of Tracheophyta (2007, unknown): “However, apomorphies are subject to ambiguity in character coding and optimization (Bryant, 994; Schander & Thollesson, 995; Sereno, 999, 2005; Donoghue, 2005), and we have therefore avoided using them in definitions when possible.”
Adaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism (2010, background): “…from genomic organization, developmental systems, behavioral biology, and many other factors that will tilt evolutionary change to occur more likely in some directions than in others, especially if these constraints remain throughout the course of a clade’s history (Arnold 1994; Donoghue 2005).”
Ecology of Leaf Longevity (2011, background): “…land plants involved a combination of progressive changes in branching architecture (overtopping) and the associated flattening (plantation, fusion) of some branch elements to form laminar photosynthetic organs that we recognize as leaves (Sussex and Kerk 2001; Boyce and Knoll 2002; Donoghue 2005).”
CONVERGENCE, ADAPTATION, AND CONSTRAINT (2011, background): “…occupation of a selective environment for y O n e L a r y r u l e conditions—the phenotype, genetic variation, and constraints present in the ancestral populations OA prior to exposure to the new selective context—may cause evolution to proceed in different directions (Arnold 1994; Donoghue 2005).”
Some Evolutionary Consequences of Being a Tree (2006, background): “For instance, for Thomas (2000), “a tree is any plant with a self-supporting, perennial woody stem”; for Donoghue (2005) the tree growth habit is characterized by “tall plants, with a thickened single trunk, branching well above ground level”; and for Niklas (1997) a tree is “any perennial plant…”
Poriferan paraphyly and its implications for Precambrian palaeobiology (2007, background): “Poriferan paraphyly and character acquisition Donoghue (2005), in his discussion of plant phylogeny, demonstrated the usefulness of paraphyly in unravelling the sequential evolution of what had once appeared to be a number of phylogenetically coincident character changes.”
Investigating evolutionary radiations (2010, background): “(2) Second, key innovations (or “key adaptations”, “adaptive breakthroughs”, or “novelties”) are hard to define and hard to identify (Heard and Hauser 1995; Donoghue 2005; Gavrilets and Losos 2009).”
Constructing a broadly inclusive seed plant phylogeny. (2018, result): “The observation of nested diversification and lag times between major clades and diversification shifts have been noted by other authors (Donoghue, 2005; Smith et al., 2011; Donoghue and Sanderson, 2015; Tank et al.”
