Accounting for Uncertainty in the Evolutionary Timescale of Green Plants Through Clock-Partitioning and Fossil Calibration Strategies [0.03%]
通过钟划分和化石校准策略解释绿色植物进化时间尺度的不确定性

Yuan Nie et al.
Establishing an accurate evolutionary timescale for green plants (Viridiplantae) is essential to understanding their interaction and coevolution with the Earth's climate and the many organisms that rely on green plants. Despite being the fo...
BEAGLE 3: Improved Performance, Scaling, and Usability for a High-Performance Computing Library for Statistical Phylogenetics [0.03%]

Horseshoe crabs (Xiphosura) are traditionally regarded as sister group to the clade of terrestrial chelicerates (Arachnida). This hypothesis has been challenged by recent phylogenomic analyses, but the non-monophyly of Arachnida has consist...

Perfect phylogenies are fundamental in the study of evolutionary trees because they capture the situation when each evolutionary trait emerges only once in history; if such events are believed to be rare, then by Occam's Razor such parsimon...
Automated Taxonomic Identification of Insects with Expert-Level Accuracy Using Effective Feature Transfer from Convolutional Networks [0.03%]
利用卷积网络有效特征传输实现专家级精度的昆虫分类自动化识别技术

Rapid and reliable identification of insects is important in many contexts, from the detection of disease vectors and invasive species to the sorting of material from biodiversity inventories. Because of the shortage of adequate expertise, ...
Lack of Signal for the Impact of Conotoxin Gene Diversity on Speciation Rates in Cone Snails [0.03%]
织纹螺中康托毒素基因多样性对物种形成速率影响的缺失信号

Understanding why some groups of organisms are more diverse than others is a central goal in macroevolution. Evolvability, or the intrinsic capacity of lineages for evolutionary change, is thought to influence disparities in species diversi...
Bayesian Estimation of Species Divergence Times Using Correlated Quantitative Characters [0.03%]
基于相关数量性状的贝叶斯谱系年代学方法及其在东亚地区梅花鹿分化时间估算中的应用

Discrete morphological data have been widely used to study species evolution, but the use of quantitative (or continuous) morphological characters is less common. Here, we implement a Bayesian method to estimate species divergence times usi...

Color is among the most striking features of organisms, varying not only in spectral properties like hue and brightness, but also in where and how it is produced on the body. Different combinations of colors on a bird's body are important i...
