Combining genomic data from 156 nematode species with fossil calibrations, the authors develop a time-calibrated phylogeny that resolves the timing of nematode diversification and evolution of parasitism, while accounting for variation in divergence time estimates 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The timescale of nematode evolution reveals late and convergent radiations of parasitism - Nature Ecology & Evolution

That's my concern on the recent trend of "monophyly supremacy" and using the term "natural group" as equivalent to monophyletic group/clade. This need to be point out louder.
