The accurate characterization of species diversity is a vital prerequisite for ecological and evolutionary research, as well as conservation. Thus, it is necessary to generate robust hypotheses of species limits based on the inference of ev...
Hybridization and Polyploidy shaped the Evolutionary History of a Complex of Cryptic Species in European Woodrushes (Luzula sect. Luzula) [0.03%]

Polyploidization has played a central role in the evolutionary history of most plant lineages, yet it poses significant challenges for phylogenetic inference, particularly in allopolyploid complexes with reticulate species relationships. Lu...
Practical Guide and Review of Fossil Tip-Dating in Phylogenetics [0.03%]

Feathers are a key novelty underpinning the evolutionary success of birds, yet the origin of feathers remains poorly understood. Debates about feather evolution hinge upon whether filamentous integument has evolved once or multiple times in...

Genomes are composed of a mosaic of segments inherited from different ancestors, each separated by past recombination events. Consequently, genealogical relationships among multiple genomes vary spatially across different genomic regions. G...

For many questions in ecology and evolution, the most relevant data to consider are attributes of lineage pairs. Comparative tests for causal relationships among traits like 'diet niche overlap', 'divergence time', and 'strength of reproduc...
Parameter Estimation from Phylogenetic Trees Using Neural Networks and Ensemble Learning [0.03%]

Tianjian Qin et al.
Species diversification is characterized by speciation and extinction, the rates of which can, under some assumptions, be estimated from time-calibrated phylogenies. However, maximum likelihood estimation methods (MLE) for inferring rates a...
New perspectives in phylogenetic support assessment: using the new Relative Contradiction Index to investigate the phylogenetic controversies in Crocodylia [0.03%]
