The vast majority of pathogen phylogenetic studies do not consider the possibility of multiple merger events being present, where a single node of the tree leads to more than two descendent branches. These events are however likely to occur...
Punctuated versus gradual shifts in the multivariate evolutionary process: a test with paired radiations of scincid lizards [0.03%]
种间分化中的进化多变量变化的断续与渐进模式——基于两类草蜥的检验研究

As lineages become separated in time, they are expected to accumulate mutational (or developmental-genetic) differences that influence the macroevolutionary trajectories of those lineages even under similar environmental conditions. Here, w...
Evaluating UCE Data Adequacy and Integrating Uncertainty in a Comprehensive Phylogeny of Ants [0.03%]

While some relationships in phylogenomic studies have remained stable since the Sanger sequencing era, many challenging nodes remain, even with genome-scale data. Incongruence or lack of resolution in the phylogenomic era is frequently attr...

The phylum Nematoda represents one of the most cosmopolitan and abundant metazoan groups on Earth. In this study, we reconstructed the phylogenomic tree for phylum Nematoda. A total of 60 genomes, belonging to eight nematode orders, were ne...
Evolutionary timelines help explain the evolution of parental care strategies [0.03%]

Comparative research on the evolution of parental care has followed a general trend in recent years, with researchers gathering data on clutch size or egg size and correlating these traits with ecological variables across a phylogeny. The g...
Discordance Down Under: Combining phylogenomics & fungal symbioses to detangle difficult nodes in a diverse tribe of Australian terrestrial orchids [0.03%]
南半球的分歧：结合系统基因组学及真菌共生来解开澳大利亚陆生兰花一大家族中难题节点之谜

Ryan P O&#x;Donnell et al.
Orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) associations in the Orchidaceae are thought to have been a major driver of diversification in the family. In the terrestrial orchid tribe Diurideae, it has long been hypothesised that OMF symbiont associations...
A Double-edged Sword: Evolutionary Novelty along Deep-time Diversity Oscillation in An Iconic Group of Predatory Insects (Neuroptera: Mantispoidea) [0.03%]

Evolutionary novelties are commonly identified as drivers of lineage diversification, with key innovations potentially triggering adaptive radiation. Nevertheless, testing hypotheses on the role of evolutionary novelties in promoting divers...
Are Modern Cryptic Species Detectable in the Fossil Record? A Case Study on Agamid Lizards [0.03%]
现代隐存种能在化石记录中被发现吗？一种(agamid lizards)的案例研究

Till Ramm et al.
Comparisons of extant and extinct biodiversity are often dependent on objective morphology-based identifications of fossils and assume a well-established and comparable taxonomy for both fossil and modern taxa. However, since many modern (c...
Bayesian Selection of Relaxed-clock Models: Distinguishing Between Independent and Autocorrelated Rates [0.03%]

In Bayesian molecular-clock dating of species divergences, rate models are used to construct the prior on the molecular evolutionary rates for branches in the phylogeny, with independent and autocorrelated rate models being commonly used. T...
Testing relationships between multiple regional features and biogeographic processes of speciation, extinction, and dispersal [0.03%]
检验区域特征与生物地理过程中的物种形成、灭绝和扩散之间的关系

Sarah K Swiston
The spatial and environmental features of regions where clades are evolving are expected to impact biogeographic processes such as speciation, extinction, and dispersal. Any number of regional features (such as elevation, distance, area, et...
