Phylogenetics and phylodynamics are central topics in modern evolutionary biology. Phylogenetic methods reconstruct the evolutionary relationships among organisms, whereas phylodynamic approaches reveal the underlying diversification proces...
When Homoplasy Is Not Homoplasy: Dissecting Trait Evolution by Contrasting Composite and Reductive Coding [0.03%]
当非平行演化不是非平行演化——通过对比合成编码和简约编码剖析性状演化

The conceptualization and coding of characters is a difficult issue in phylogenetic systematics, no matter which inference method is used when reconstructing phylogenetic trees or if the characters are just mapped onto a specific tree. Comp...
Conserved Nonexonic Elements: A Novel Class of Marker for Phylogenomics [0.03%]
保守的非内含子元件:一种新的谱系基因组学标志物类群

Noncoding markers have a particular appeal as tools for phylogenomic analysis because, at least in vertebrates, they appear less subject to strong variation in GC content among lineages. Thus far, ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and introns ...
Millions of Years Behind: Slow Adaptation of Ruminants to Grasslands [0.03%]
反刍动物适应草原生活缓慢的进化历程——数百万年的落后效应

Olja Toljagic et al.
The Late Cretaceous appearance of grasses, followed by the Cenozoic advancement of grasslands as dominant biomes, has contributed to the evolution of a range of specialized herbivores adapted to new diets, as well as to increasingly open an...
Multivariate Phylogenetic Comparative Methods: Evaluations, Comparisons, and Recommendations [0.03%]
多变量谱系比较方法:评价、对比与推荐

Recent years have seen increased interest in phylogenetic comparative analyses of multivariate data sets, but to date the varied proposed approaches have not been extensively examined. Here we review the mathematical properties required of ...
Conserving Phylogenetic Diversity Can Be a Poor Strategy for Conserving Functional Diversity [0.03%]
保护系统发育多样性可能是保护功能多样性的糟糕策略
Florent Mazel,Arne O Mooers,Giulio Valentino Dalla Riva et al.
Florent Mazel et al.
For decades, academic biologists have advocated for making conservation decisions in light of evolutionary history. Specifically, they suggest that policy makers should prioritize conserving phylogenetically diverse assemblages. The most pr...

The accumulation of genome-scale molecular data sets for nonmodel taxa brings us ever closer to resolving the tree of life of all living organisms. However, despite the depth of data available, a number of studies that each used thousands o...
Combined Analysis of Extant Rhynchonellida (Brachiopoda) using Morphological and Molecular Data [0.03%]
结合形态和分子数据对现生Rhynchonellida(瓣鳃纲)的综合分析

Independent molecular and morphological phylogenetic analyses have often produced discordant results for certain groups which, for fossil-rich groups, raises the possibility that morphological data might mislead in those groups for which we...
