Popular optimality criteria for phylogenetic trees focus on sequences of characters that are applicable to all the taxa. As studies grow in breadth, it can be the case that some characters are applicable for a portion of the taxa and inappl...
Segmental Series and Size: Clade-Wide Investigation of Molar Proportions Reveals a Major Evolutionary Allometry in the Dentition of Placental Mammals [0.03%]

Iterative segments such as teeth or limbs are a widespread characteristic of living organisms. While their proportions may be governed by similar developmental rules in vertebrates, there is no emerging pattern as regards their relation to ...
Gene Tree Discord, Simplex Plots, and Statistical Tests under the Coalescent [0.03%]

A simple graphical device, the simplex plot of quartet concordance factors, is introduced to aid in the exploration of a collection of gene trees on a common set of taxa. A single plot summarizes all gene tree discord and allows for visual ...

Long branch attraction (LBA) is a prevalent form of bias in phylogenetic estimation but the reasons for it are only partially understood. We argue here that it is largely due to differences in the sizes of the model spaces corresponding to ...

Bayesian inference of phylogeny with Markov chain Monte Carlo plays a key role in the study of evolution. Yet, this method still suffers from a practical challenge identified more than two decades ago: designing tree topology proposals that...

Hybridization between species occurs more frequently in vertebrates than traditionally thought, but distinguishing ancient hybridization from other phenomena that generate similar evolutionary patterns remains challenging. Here, we used a c...
Integrating Sequence Capture and Restriction Site-Associated DNA Sequencing to Resolve Recent Radiations of Pelagic Seabirds [0.03%]
整合序列捕获和限制位点相关DNA测序以解决远洋海鸟最近的辐射问题

The diversification of modern birds has been shaped by a number of radiations. Rapid diversification events make reconstructing the evolutionary relationships among taxa challenging due to the convoluted effects of incomplete lineage sortin...
Phylogenomics, Origin, and Diversification of Anthozoans (Phylum Cnidaria) [0.03%]

Anthozoan cnidarians (corals and sea anemones) include some of the world's most important foundation species, capable of building massive reef complexes that support entire ecosystems. Although previous molecular phylogenetic analyses have ...

Phylogenetic trees provide a powerful framework for testing macroevolutionary hypotheses, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that inferences derived from extant species alone can be highly misleading. Trees incorporating living and ex...

It is common for studies that employ the comparative method for the study of adaptation, that is, documentation of potentially adaptive across-species patterns of trait-environment or trait-trait correlation, to be designated as "macroevolu...
