Phylogenetic Biodiversity Metrics Should Account for Both Accumulation and Attrition of Evolutionary Heritage [0.03%]
系统发育生物多样性指标应兼顾积累和消耗两类进化遗产的影响

Phylogenetic metrics are essential tools used in the study of ecology, evolution and conservation. Phylogenetic diversity (PD) in particular is one of the most prominent measures of biodiversity and is based on the idea that biological feat...
Fast Bayesian Inference of Phylogenies from Multiple Continuous Characters [0.03%]

Time-scaled phylogenetic trees are an ultimate goal of evolutionary biology and a necessary ingredient in comparative studies. The accumulation of genomic data has resolved the tree of life to a great extent, yet timing evolutionary events ...

Combining morphological and molecular characters through Bayesian total-evidence dating allows inferring the phylogenetic and timescale framework of both extant and fossil taxa, while accounting for the stochasticity and incompleteness of t...

Modern comparative biology owes much to phylogenetic regression. At its conception, this technique sparked a revolution that armed biologists with phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) for disentangling evolutionary correlations from thos...
DNA sequences from type specimens and type strains - how to increase their number and improve their annotation in NCBI GenBank and related databases [0.03%]
模式标本和菌株的DNA序列信息及其在美国国立生物技术信息中心基因库等相关数据库中的注册与注释

Scientific names permit humans and search engines to access knowledge about the biodiversity that surrounds us, and names linked to DNA sequences are playing an ever-greater role in search-and-match identification procedures. Here, we analy...
Convergent adaptation of true crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura) to a gradient of terrestrial environments [0.03%]
十足目短尾下目的趋同适应性演化及其对陆地环境的适应性研究
Joanna M Wolfe,Lauren Ballou,Javier Luque et al.
Joanna M Wolfe et al.
For much of terrestrial biodiversity, the evolutionary pathways of adaptation from marine ancestors are poorly understood, and have usually been viewed as a binary trait. True crabs, the decapod crustacean infraorder Brachyura, comprise ove...
Reference Genome Choice and Filtering Thresholds Jointly Influence Phylogenomic Analyses [0.03%]

Jessica A Rick et al.
Molecular phylogenies are a cornerstone of modern comparative biology and are commonly employed to investigate a range of biological phenomena, such as diversification rates, patterns in trait evolution, biogeography, and community assembly...

Todd W Pierson et al.
The origin and eventual loss of biogeographic barriers can create alternating periods of allopatry and secondary contact, facilitating gene flow among distinct metapopulations and generating reticulate evolutionary histories that are not ad...

The genomic era has opened up vast opportunities in molecular systematics, one of which is deciphering the evolutionary history in fine detail. Under this mass of data, analyzing the point mutations of standard markers is often too crude an...

Biochemical constraints on the admissible amino acids at specific sites in proteins lead to heterogeneity of the amino acid substitution process over sites in alignments. It is well known that phylogenetic models of protein sequence evoluti...
