Using hybridization capture sequencing and deep genome skimming data analysis, we reconstruct a phylogeny of Elsholtzieae using 279 orthologous nuclear loci from 56 species.

Phylogenetic network analyses, confirmed by PhyloNetworks and SplitsTree, showed reticulation events among the major lineages of Elsholtzieae. The unstable polyphyly of <i>Keiskea</i> observed in ASTRAL (accurate species tree algorithm), ML (maximum likelihood) and MP (maximum parsimony) analyses may be related to introgression from <i>Perilla</i> and <i>Mosla</i>. Based on the analyses of phylogenetic trees within Elsholtzieae, the evolutionary trajectory of inflorescences demonstrates a pattern of diversification, with specialization as one aspect of this process. Elsholtzieae support the hypothesis that compressed inflorescences evolved from larger and more complex ancestral forms through successive compressions of the inflorescence axis.

Much of the neglect is due to the fact that conventional taxonomic methods struggle with handling thousands of specimens belonging to hundreds of species. We thus here propose a new strategy that we call “dark taxonomy”. It addresses (i) taxonomic impediments, (ii) the lack of biodiversity baselines and (iii) the low impact of revisionary research. Taxonomic impediments are reduced by carrying out revisions at small geographic scales to keep the number of specimens low. The risk of taxonomic error is reduced by delimiting species based on two types of data. We furthermore show that dark taxonomy can yield important biodiversity baseline data by using samples obtained with biomonitoring traps. Lastly, we argue that the impact of revisionary research can be improved by publishing two papers addressing different readerships. The principles of dark taxonomy are illustrated by our taxonomic treatment of Singapore's fungus gnats (Mycetophilidae) based only on Malaise trap samples. We show that a first batch of specimens (<i>N</i> = 1454) contains 120 species, of which 115 are new to science, thus reducing taxonomic impediments by increasing the number of described Oriental species by 25%. Species delimitation started with using DNA barcodes to estimate the number of Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units (MOTUs) before “LIT” (Large-scale Integrative Taxonomy) was used to obtain the species boundaries for the 120 species by integrating morphological and molecular data. To test the taxonomic completeness of the revision, we next analysed a second batch of 1493 specimens and found that &gt;97% belonged to the 120 species delimited based on the first batch. Indeed, the second batch only contained 18 new and rare MOTUs, i.e. our study suggests that a single revision can simultaneously yield the names for all important species and relevant biodiversity baseline data.

Tools exist to analyse this kind of data without subjective discretization, avoiding biases in the delimitation of categorical states.

This study evaluates the accuracy of phylogenetic reconstructions from simulated matrices of continuous characters evolving under alternative evolutionary processes and analysed by parsimony. We sampled 100 empirical trees to simulate 9000 matrices, each containing between 25 and 50 taxa, and 50 and 150 continuous characters evolving under three evolutionary processes: Brownian motion, Ornstein–Uhlenbeck and early burst with variable parametrizations. Our cladogram comparisons revealed that continuous character matrices, when properly coded and analysed by parsimony in TNT, carry phylogenetic signals from which species relationships can be inferred, regardless of the evolutionary models and parameterization schemes. Interestingly, implementing equal weighting or implied weighting with varying penalization strengths against homoplasies did not affect cladogram reconstructions based on continuous characters. Finally, the accuracy of continuous characters in resolving species relationships is skewed towards apical nodes of the recovered trees.

The first shift corresponds with the extinction of non-sauropodan sauropodomorphs and the diversification of sauropods, while the second corresponds with the diversification of Neosauropoda and closely related eusauropods (mamenchisaurids, turiasaurians) in the Late Jurassic, leading to a substantial shift and increase in morphological disparity. Finally, we found that body mass is significantly correlated with the first principal coordinate axis of the morphospace in two-thirds of a random sample of optimal trees, which suggests that body size played a role in shaping the evolution of sauropod morphology.

Despite there being numerous described permineralized species, the phylogenetic relationships between extinct species remain contentious. Although several analytical approaches have been applied to infer well-resolved phylogenetic hypotheses—even methods that are arguably conceived to be better at dealing with data conflict and uncertainty, many taxa have not been assigned to specific taxonomic categories. Here, we evaluate the phylogenetic affinities in Osmundales by reanalysing a dataset comprising an extensive taxon sampling of fossil Osmundalean rhizomes. The impact of both character dependence and weighting characters against homoplasy on the inferred topologies is also evaluated. Our analyses cast doubts on the monophyly of Osmundaceae and Guaireaceae. Subfamily Itopsidemoideae was rendered monophyletic when inferences were conducted by considering character dependence and downweighting characters. The subfamily Osmundoideae was retrieved monophyletic only under one concavity value and using character dependence while the remaining subfamilies included fossils with uncertain affinities within Osmundales. The position of <i>Osmundacaulis</i>, for instance, was recovered as a sister taxon to guaireoid fossils. To recover the monophyly of the categories below the subfamily level, incorporating character dependence and/or weighting against homoplasy was necessary. Consistent with previous studies, multiple taxa were unstable, leaving their phylogenetic affinities unclear. Our analyses underline the impact of accounting for both character dependence and weighting against homoplasy, especially when considering the contribution of missing data to observed homoplasy.

We suggest that each published phylogeny should be accompanied by at minimum the single preferred result in machine readable tree (e.g. Newick) form in the supplement, a simple task fulfilled by fewer than half of studies. Further, the tree should be clear from the file name and extension; the orientation (rooted or unrooted) should match the figures; terminals labels should include genus and species IDs; underscores should separate strings within-field (instead of white spaces); and if other informational fields are added these should be separated by a unique delimiting character (we suggest multiple underscores or the vertical pipe character, |) and ordered consistently. These requirements are largely independent of phylogenetic study aims, while we note other requirements for synthesis (e.g. removal of species repeats and uninformative terminals) that are not necessarily the responsibility of authors. Machine readable trees show greater variation in terminal formatting than typical phylogeny images (owing presumably to greater scrutiny of the latter), and thus are complex and laborious to parse.

The result of heterospecific mating depends upon the effectiveness of pre- and post-reproductive barriers. Incomplete reproductive barriers lead to introgression of DNA into one species or both. Intricate genital morphology among dragonflies provides little assurance of species specificity given that heterospecific mating or mating attempts have been observed among many species. The genetic consequence is unknown for many heterospecific matings. For example, <i>Somatochlora</i> species mating and genetic exchange have been hypothesized based on observational records and individuals with hybrid morphology. We investigate the potential of heterospecific mating between North American <i>Somatochlora</i> species as inferred from multi-gene phylogenies. We used mitochondrial genes (<i>COI</i> and <i>ND3</i>) and nuclear genes (<i>EF1-α</i> and <i>ITS2</i>) to construct phylogenies using maximum parsimony. Observation of non-monophyletic mtDNA lineages but monophyletic nDNA lineages between <i>Somatochlora</i> sister-species would indicate mtDNA introgression and suggest heterospecific matings. Our results highlighted three instances of non-monophyly of mtDNA clades in the following groups: (i) <i>S. hineana</i> + <i>S. tenebrosa</i>; (ii) <i>S. kennedyi</i> + <i>S. forcipata</i> + <i>S. franklini</i>; and (iii) <i>S. calverti</i> + <i>S. provocan</i>s + <i>S. filosa</i>. Analysis of partitioned Bremer support indicates that mtDNA <i>COI</i> largely contributed to the non-monophyly of these species, thus suggesting mtDNA introgression resulting from heterospecific matings. Additionally, the topology resulting from the combined data analysis was concordant with previous taxonomic understanding of <i>Somatochlora</i> species groups.
