Genome-scale sequencing has been of great benefit in recovering species trees but has not provided final answers. Despite the rapid accumulation of molecular sequences, resolving short and deep branches of the tree of life has remained a ch...
Genomic Signature of an Avian Lilliput Effect across the K-Pg Extinction [0.03%]
K-Pg灭绝事件前后鸟类基因组的"小人国效应"特征研究

Survivorship following major mass extinctions may be associated with a decrease in body size-a phenomenon called the Lilliput Effect. Body size is a strong predictor of many life history traits (LHTs), and is known to influence demography a...
Phylogenetic Factor Analysis [0.03%]
系统发育因素分析

Max R Tolkoff et al.
Phylogenetic comparative methods explore the relationships between quantitative traits adjusting for shared evolutionary history. This adjustment often occurs through a Brownian diffusion process along the branches of the phylogeny that gen...
Modeling Site Heterogeneity with Posterior Mean Site Frequency Profiles Accelerates Accurate Phylogenomic Estimation [0.03%]
用后验均值位点频率谱建模异质性以加速准确的系统基因组估算
Huai-Chun Wang,Bui Quang Minh,Edward Susko et al.
Huai-Chun Wang et al.
Proteins have distinct structural and functional constraints at different sites that lead to site-specific preferences for particular amino acid residues as the sequences evolve. Heterogeneity in the amino acid substitution process between ...
Cladogenetic and Anagenetic Models of Chromosome Number Evolution: A Bayesian Model Averaging Approach [0.03%]
染色体数目进化 cladogenetic 和 anagenetic 模型的贝叶斯模型平均方法
William A Freyman,Sebastian Höhna
William A Freyman
Chromosome number is a key feature of the higher-order organization of the genome, and changes in chromosome number play a fundamental role in evolution. Dysploid gains and losses in chromosome number, as well as polyploidization events, ma...
The Past Sure is Tense: On Interpreting Phylogenetic Divergence Time Estimates [0.03%]
论释磷脂分裂生时间估计值：过去的时态确实很复杂
Joseph W Brown,Stephen A Smith
Joseph W Brown
Divergence time estimation-the calibration of a phylogeny to geological time-is an integral first step in modeling the tempo of biological evolution (traits and lineages). However, despite increasingly sophisticated methods to infer diverge...

The recent surge in enthusiasm for simultaneously inferring relationships from extinct and extant species has reinvigorated interest in statistical approaches for modeling morphological evolution. Current statistical methods use the Mk mode...
Impact of Model Violations on the Inference of Species Boundaries Under the Multispecies Coalescent [0.03%]
模型假设违背对多方系谱建模下的物种边界推断的影响分析

Anthony J Barley
The use of genetic data for identifying species-level lineages across the tree of life has received increasing attention in the field of systematics over the past decade. The multispecies coalescent model provides a framework for understand...
Issues and Perspectives in Species Delimitation using Phenotypic Data: Atlantean Evolution in Darwin's Finches [0.03%]
形态学数据物种界定的研究问题与视角——达尔文雀的亚特兰蒂斯进化模式
Carlos Daniel Cadena,Felipe Zapata,Iván Jiménez
Carlos Daniel Cadena
Progress in the development and use of methods for species delimitation employing phenotypic data lags behind conceptual and practical advances in molecular genetic approaches. The basic evolutionary model underlying the use of phenotypic d...
