Using phylogenetic approaches to test hypotheses on a large scale, in terms of both species sampling and associated species traits and occurrence data-and doing this with rigor despite all the attendant challenges-is critical for addressing many broad questions in evolution and ecology. However, application of such approaches to empirical systems is hampered by a lingering series of theoretical and practical bottlenecks. The community is still wrestling with the challenges of how to develop species-level, comprehensively sampled phylogenies and associated geographic and phenotypic resources that enable global-scale analyses. We illustrate difficulties and opportunities using the rosids as a case study, arguing that assembly of biodiversity data that is scale-appropriate-and therefore comprehensive and global in scope-is required to test global-scale hypotheses. Synthesizing comprehensive biodiversity data sets in clades such as the rosids will be key to understanding the origin and present-day evolutionary and ecological dynamics of the angiosperms.
