Using more than the oldest fossils: dating osmundaceae with three Bayesian clock approaches [0.03%]
用三种贝叶斯钟计时方法对 Osmundaceae 进行测年：不只是使用最古老的化石即可

A major concern in molecular clock dating is how to use information from the fossil record to calibrate genetic distances from DNA sequences. Here we apply three Bayesian dating methods that differ in how calibration is achieved-"node datin...
Consensus and confusion in molluscan trees: evaluating morphological and molecular phylogenies [0.03%]

Mollusks are the most morphologically disparate living animal phylum, they have diversified into all habitats, and have a deep fossil record. Monophyly and identity of their eight living classes is undisputed, but relationships between thes...
Bias and sensitivity in the placement of fossil taxa resulting from interpretations of missing data [0.03%]
缺失数据解释导致的化石分类群放置偏差和敏感性

The utility of fossils in evolutionary contexts is dependent on their accurate placement in phylogenetic frameworks, yet intrinsic and widespread missing data make this problematic. The complex taphonomic processes occurring during fossiliz...

Previous work on the star-tree paradox has shown that Bayesian methods suffer from a long branch attraction bias. That work is extended to settings involving more taxa and partially resolved trees. The long branch attraction bias is confirm...
Historical Species Distribution Models Predict Species Limits in Western Plethodon Salamanders [0.03%]

Allopatry is commonly used to predict boundaries in species delimitation investigations under the assumption that currently allopatric distributions are indicative of reproductive isolation; however, species ranges are known to change over ...

Despite impressive technical and theoretical developments, reconstruction of phylogenetic trees for enormous quantities of molecular data is still a challenging task. A key tool in analyses of large data sets has been the construction of se...
Calibrated birth-death phylogenetic time-tree priors for bayesian inference [0.03%]
贝叶斯推断中校准的出生-死亡谱系树先验分布

Here we introduce a general class of multiple calibration birth-death tree priors for use in Bayesian phylogenetic inference. All tree priors in this class separate ancestral node heights into a set of "calibrated nodes" and "uncalibrated n...
Integrating fossils, phylogenies, and niche models into biogeography to reveal ancient evolutionary history: the case of Hypericum (hypericaceae) [0.03%]
整合古生物学、系统发育和生态位模型以揭示生物地理学中的古老历史：Hypericum（藤黄科）案例研究

In disciplines such as macroevolution that are not amenable to experimentation, scientists usually rely on current observations to test hypotheses about historical events, assuming that "the present is the key to the past." Biogeographers, ...

The phylogenetic literature contains numerous measures for assessing differences between two phylogenetic trees. Individual measures have been criticized on various grounds, but little is known about their comparative performance in typical...

We introduce the Phylogenetic Likelihood Library (PLL), a highly optimized application programming interface for developing likelihood-based phylogenetic inference and postanalysis software. The PLL implements appropriate data structures an...
