The last half century of paleornithological research has transformed the way that biologists perceive the evolutionary history of birds. This transformation has been driven, since 1969, by a series of exciting fossil discoveries combined wi...

The coalescent process describes how changes in the size or structure of a population influence the genealogical patterns of sequences sampled from that population. The estimation of (effective) population size changes from genealogies that...

With the rapid reduction in sequencing costs of high-throughput genomic data, it has become commonplace to use hundreds of genes to infer phylogeny of any study system. While sampling a large number of genes has given us a tremendous opport...
Priors and Posteriors in Bayesian Timing of Divergence Analyses: The Age of Butterflies Revisited [0.03%]
贝叶斯分歧时间分析中的先验与后验：重新探讨蝴蝶的年龄问题

The need for robust estimates of times of divergence is essential for downstream analyses, yet assessing this robustness is still rare. We generated a time-calibrated genus-level phylogeny of butterflies (Papilionoidea), including 994 taxa,...
Marginal Likelihoods in Phylogenetics: A Review of Methods and Applications [0.03%]
分子系统发育中边际似然的应用与评估综述

By providing a framework of accounting for the shared ancestry inherent to all life, phylogenetics is becoming the statistical foundation of biology. The importance of model choice continues to grow as phylogenetic models continue to increa...
OSF-Builder: A New Tool for Constructing and Representing Evolutionary Histories Involving Introgression [0.03%]
OSF-构建者：一个用于构造和表示涉及杂交的进化史的新工具

Guillaume E Scholz et al.
Introgression is an evolutionary process which provides an important source of innovation for evolution. Although various methods have been used to detect introgression, very few methods are currently available for constructing evolutionary...
Integration of Anatomy Ontologies and Evo-Devo Using Structured Markov Models Suggests a New Framework for Modeling Discrete Phenotypic Traits [0.03%]
基于结构马尔可夫模型的解剖本体和进化发育生物学的整合提出了一个新的离散表型建模框架
Sergei Tarasov

Modeling discrete phenotypic traits for either ancestral character state reconstruction or morphology-based phylogenetic inference suffers from ambiguities of character coding, homology assessment, dependencies, and selection of adequate mo...
Homoplasy-Based Partitioning Outperforms Alternatives in Bayesian Analysis of Discrete Morphological Data [0.03%]
基于同源性的分区在贝叶斯分析离散形态数据中的表现优于其他方法

Brunno B Rosa
Bayesian analysis of morphological data is becoming increasingly popular mainly (but not only) because it allows for time-calibrated phylogenetic inference using relaxed morphological clocks and tip dating whenever fossils are available. As...
Convergent Evolution of the Army Ant Syndrome and Congruence in Big-Data Phylogenetics [0.03%]

Army ants are a charismatic group of organisms characterized by a suite of morphological and behavioral adaptations that includes obligate collective foraging, frequent colony relocation, and highly specialized wingless queens. This army an...
Strengthening the Interaction of the Virology Community with the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by Linking Virus Names and Their Abbreviations to Virus Species [0.03%]
通过将病毒名称及其缩写链接到病毒物种来加强与国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）互动
Charles H Calisher,Thomas Briese,J Rodney Brister et al.
Charles H Calisher et al.
The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) is tasked with classifying viruses into taxa (phyla to species) and devising taxon names. Virus names and virus name abbreviations are currently not within the ICTV's official remit ...
