Species selection, the effect of heritable traits in generating between-lineage diversification rate differences, provides a valuable conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between traits, diversification, and phylogenetic ...
Reticulate Evolution Helps Explain Apparent Homoplasy in Floral Biology and Pollination in Baobabs (Adansonia; Bombacoideae; Malvaceae) [0.03%]
绣球花属波巴布属传粉和花部生物学中的类同现象或为刺果藤族的网状进化所致

Nisa Karimi et al.
Baobabs (Adansonia) are a cohesive group of tropical trees with a disjunct distribution in Australia, Madagascar, and continental Africa, and diverse flowers associated with two pollination modes. We used custom-targeted sequence capture in...

We answer two questions raised by Bryant, Francis, and Steel in their work on consensus methods in phylogenetics. Consensus methods apply to every practical instance where it is desired to aggregate a set of given phylogenetic trees (say, g...
Model-Based Species Delimitation: Are Coalescent Species Reproductively Isolated? [0.03%]

A large and growing fraction of systematists define species as independently evolving lineages that may be recognized by analyzing the population genetic history of alleles sampled from individuals belonging to those species. This has motiv...
Estimating Diversity Through Time Using Molecular Phylogenies: Old and Species-Poor Frog Families are the Remnants of a Diverse Past [0.03%]
利用分子谱系估计时间变化的多样性：古老且物种较少的蛙科是过去多样化的遗迹

Estimating how the number of species in a given group varied in the deep past is of key interest to evolutionary biologists. However, current phylogenetic approaches for obtaining such estimates have limitations, such as providing unrealist...
Inferring Tumor Proliferative Organization from Phylogenetic Tree Measures in a Computational Model [0.03%]
基于计算模型的系统发育树度量推断肿瘤增殖组织状态

We use a computational modeling approach to explore whether it is possible to infer a solid tumor's cellular proliferative hierarchy under the assumptions of the cancer stem cell hypothesis and neutral evolution. We work towards inferring t...
A Bayesian Approach for Inferring the Impact of a Discrete Character on Rates of Continuous-Character Evolution in the Presence of Background-Rate Variation [0.03%]
一种贝叶斯方法 推断离散性状 在连续性状进化速率变化中的作用及其背景变异的影响

Understanding how and why rates of character evolution vary across the Tree of Life is central to many evolutionary questions; for example, does the trophic apparatus (a set of continuous characters) evolve at a higher rate in fish lineages...
Phylogenomic Resolution of the Cetacean Tree of Life Using Target Sequence Capture [0.03%]

The evolution of cetaceans, from their early transition to an aquatic lifestyle to their subsequent diversification, has been the subject of numerous studies. However, although the higher-level relationships among cetacean families have bee...

There is a growing body of research on the evolution of anatomy in a wide variety of organisms. Discoveries in this field could be greatly accelerated by computational methods and resources that enable these findings to be compared across d...
Continued Adaptation of C4 Photosynthesis After an Initial Burst of Changes in the Andropogoneae Grasses [0.03%]
在禾本科黍族中C4光合作用经历初始适应爆发后继续适应进化

C$_{4}$ photosynthesis is a complex trait that sustains fast growth and high productivity in tropical and subtropical conditions and evolved repeatedly in flowering plants. One of the major C$_{4}$ lineages is Andropogoneae, a group of $/si...
