Assessing the information content of fossilizable data, with a focus on the Asian origin and diversification of Glires (Mammalia)
… and the implications for downstream analysis and interpretation. The first two chapters take a detailed look at the phylogenetic signal contained within fossil Glires, while the third and fourth chapters put interpretation of fossils into practice through analyses of phylogeny, …

The embryology of Prionium serratum (L.f.) Drege ex E.Mey. (Juncaceae:Cyperales) and its implications for the phylogeny of Cyperales
… morphological data (including embryology) and total evidence (rbcL sequence data combined with morphological data) revealed that Juncaceae are paraphyletic with Prionium basal to Juncaceae plus Cyperaceae within Cyperales in both instances. In addition, Oxychlae is basal to Cyperaceae in the …

Evolution and phylogeny of basal winged insects with emphasis on mayflies (Ephemeroptera)
… the major lineages of mayflies, and a detailed analysis of the family Ephemerellidae. Ephemeroptera has been considered by many to be sister to Odonata + Neoptera although alternate hypotheses have been suggested. Data from three molecular loci ambiguously resolve basal pterygote relationships, …

Systematic studies of the South African Campanulaceae sensu stricto with and emphasis on generic delimitations
… of divergence of the South African lineage. This analysis, based on a published ITS phylogeny and an additional ten South African taxa, showed a strongly supported South African clade sister to the campanuloids. Assessment of divergence times using a secondary calibration point suggests that this …
