Abstract excerpt
Accurate representation of lineage diversity through complete taxon sampling is crucial to understanding the evolution of biodiversity, particularly when using molecular phylogenetics to estimate evolutionary relationships. In this interest, taxonomic diversity is often used as a proxy for lineage diversity even though the two concepts are not synonymous. We explore this within the snake tribe Lampropeltini which...
