Advances in the generation, retrieval, and analysis of phylogenetic data have enabled researchers to create phylogenies that contain many thousands of taxa. These "macrophylogenies"-large trees that typically derive from megaphylogeny, supe...
Construction of a Species-Level Tree of Life for the Insects and Utility in Taxonomic Profiling [0.03%]
昆虫生命之树的构建及其在分类分析中的应用

Although comprehensive phylogenies have proven an invaluable tool in ecology and evolution, their construction is made increasingly challenging both by the scale and structure of publically available sequences. The distinct partition betwee...
Biodiversity and the Species Concept-Lineages are not Enough [0.03%]
生物多样性与物种概念：不仅仅是有生命之物 lineage理论不够全面
John V Freudenstein,Michael B Broe,Ryan A Folk et al.
John V Freudenstein et al.
The nature and definition of species continue to be matters of debate. Current views of species often focus on their nature as lineages-maximal reproductive communities through time. Whereas many authors point to the Evolutionary Species Co...
Possibility and Challenges of Conversion of Current Virus Species Names to Linnaean Binomials [0.03%]
当前病毒种命名转换为林奈双名法的可能性与挑战
Thomas S Postler,Anna N Clawson,Gaya K Amarasinghe et al.
Thomas S Postler et al.
Botanical, mycological, zoological, and prokaryotic species names follow the Linnaean format, consisting of an italicized Latinized binomen with a capitalized genus name and a lower case species epithet (e.g., Homo sapiens). Virus species n...
The Impact of the Tree Prior on Molecular Dating of Data Sets Containing a Mixture of Inter- and Intraspecies Sampling [0.03%]
树形先验对混合了种间和种内取样数据集的分子 dating 的影响

Andrew M Ritchie
In Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of genetic data, prior probability distributions need to be specified for the model parameters, including the tree. When Bayesian methods are used for molecular dating, available tree priors include those d...
A Relaxed Directional Random Walk Model for Phylogenetic Trait Evolution [0.03%]

Mandev S Gill et al.
Understanding the processes that give rise to quantitative measurements associated with molecular sequence data remains an important issue in statistical phylogenetics. Examples of such measurements include geographic coordinates in the con...
Misconceptions on Missing Data in RAD-seq Phylogenetics with a Deep-scale Example from Flowering Plants [0.03%]
RAD-seq植物谱系基因组学中缺失数据的误解及来自开花植物的深层谱系例子分析
Deren A R Eaton,Elizabeth L Spriggs,Brian Park et al.
Deren A R Eaton et al.
Restriction-site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing and related methods rely on the conservation of enzyme recognition sites to isolate homologous DNA fragments for sequencing, with the consequence that mutations disrupting these sites lead to...
Displayed Trees Do Not Determine Distinguishability Under the Network Multispecies Coalescent [0.03%]
显示树不能决定网络多重祖先基因库中的可区分性
Sha Zhu,James H Degnan
Sha Zhu
Recent work in estimating species relationships from gene trees has included inferring networks assuming that past hybridization has occurred between species. Probabilistic models using the multispecies coalescent can be used in this framew...

Scotland and Steel (2015) recently explored the idea of character compatibility, examining the issue from the perspective of a particular model, "a simple and extreme model in which each character either fits perfectly on some tree, or is e...
