• Molecular biology. Molecular studies have produced
new information about phylogenetic relationships
that illuminates events as distant as the origin of jawless
vertebrate lineages and as recent as the separation
of the clouded leopards on Borneo, Sumatra, and the
Asian mainland.
• Fossil evidence. Newly described fossils have
expanded our understanding of the evolutionary
diversity of vertebrate lineages, particularly of dinosaurs
(including birds) and our own human lineage.
• Climate change. The ever-increasing evidence of
global climate change has important implications
for the biology and conservation of vertebrates,
and new information about atmospheric conditions
during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras sheds light
on vertebrate diversification.
