The acknowledgment of evolutionary dependence among species has fundamentally changed how we ask biological questions. Phylogenetic models became the standard approach for studies with 3 or more lineages, in particular those using extant sp...
Multiple Routes to Color Convergence in a Radiation of Neotropical Poison Frogs [0.03%]
新热带毒蛙辐枝中颜色汇聚的多种途径

Convergent evolution is defined as the independent evolution of similar phenotypes in different lineages. Its existence underscores the importance of external selection pressures in evolutionary history, revealing how functionally similar a...

Birth-death (BD) models are widely used in combination with species phylogenies to study past diversification dynamics. Current inference approaches typically rely on likelihood-based methods. These methods are not generalizable, as a new l...
Speciation-by-Extinction [0.03%]

Extinction is a dominant force shaping patterns of biodiversity through time; however its role as a catalyst of speciation through its interaction with intraspecific variation has been overlooked. Here, we synthesize ideas alluded to by Dar...
Populating a Continent: Phylogenomics Reveal the Timing of Australian Frog Diversification [0.03%]

The Australian continent's size and isolation make it an ideal place for studying the accumulation and evolution of biodiversity. Long separated from the ancient supercontinent Gondwana, most of Australia's plants and animals are unique and...
Burma Terrane Amber Fauna Shows Connections to Gondwana and Transported Gondwanan Lineages to the Northern Hemisphere (Araneae: Palpimanoidea) [0.03%]
缅甸地块琥珀动物群揭示与冈瓦纳古陆的联系以及被搬运到北半球的冈瓦纳系谱（蜘蛛纲：鞭亚目）

Burmese amber is a significant source of fossils that documents the mid-Cretaceous biota. This deposit was formed around 99 Ma on the Burma Terrane, which broke away from Gondwana and later collided with Asia, although the timing is dispute...
Online tree expansion could help solve the problem of scalability in Bayesian phylogenetics [0.03%]
在线树扩展有助于解决贝叶斯系统发育学中的可伸缩性问题

Jakub Truszkowski et al.
Bayesian phylogenetics is now facing a critical point. Over the last 20 years, Bayesian methods have reshaped phylogenetic inference and gained widespread popularity due to their high accuracy, the ability to quantify the uncertainty of inf...
The Artefactual Branch Effect and Phylogenetic Conflict: Species Delimitation with Gene Flow in Mangrove Pit Vipers (Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus-erythrurus Complex) [0.03%]
基于标本的分支效应与系统发育冲突： mangrove pit vipers (Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus-erythrurus 复合体)基因流下的物种界定

Kin Onn Chan
Mangrove pit vipers of the Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus-erythrurus complex are the only species of viper known to naturally inhabit mangroves. Despite serving integral ecological functions in mangrove ecosystems, the evolutionary history,...
The Non-Dereliction in Evolution: Trophic Specialisation Drives Convergence in the Radiation of Red Devil Spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae) in the Canary Islands [0.03%]
不可等闲视之的演化历程——加那利群岛红魔鬼蜘蛛(Dysderidae)辐射演化的营养级特化趋同现象
Adrià Bellvert,Silvia Adrián-Serrano,Nuria Macías-Hernández et al.
Adrià Bellvert et al.
Natural selection plays a key role in deterministic evolution, as clearly illustrated by the multiple cases of repeated evolution of ecomorphological characters observed in adaptive radiations. Unlike most spiders, Dysdera species display a...
Scalable Bayesian Divergence Time Estimation With Ratio Transformations [0.03%]
基于比率变换的大规模贝叶斯分异时间估计方法

Xiang Ji et al.
Divergence time estimation is crucial to provide temporal signals for dating biologically important events from species divergence to viral transmissions in space and time. With the advent of high-throughput sequencing, recent Bayesian phyl...
