Despite impressive technical and theoretical developments, reconstruction of phylogenetic trees for enormous quantities of molecular data is still a challenging task. A key tool in analyses of large data sets has been the construction of se...
Calibrated birth-death phylogenetic time-tree priors for bayesian inference [0.03%]

Here we introduce a general class of multiple calibration birth-death tree priors for use in Bayesian phylogenetic inference. All tree priors in this class separate ancestral node heights into a set of "calibrated nodes" and "uncalibrated n...
Integrating fossils, phylogenies, and niche models into biogeography to reveal ancient evolutionary history: the case of Hypericum (hypericaceae) [0.03%]
整合古生物学、系统发育和生态位模型以揭示生物地理学中的古老历史：Hypericum（藤黄科）案例研究

In disciplines such as macroevolution that are not amenable to experimentation, scientists usually rely on current observations to test hypotheses about historical events, assuming that "the present is the key to the past." Biogeographers, ...

The phylogenetic literature contains numerous measures for assessing differences between two phylogenetic trees. Individual measures have been criticized on various grounds, but little is known about their comparative performance in typical...

We introduce the Phylogenetic Likelihood Library (PLL), a highly optimized application programming interface for developing likelihood-based phylogenetic inference and postanalysis software. The PLL implements appropriate data structures an...

Evolution of neck vertebral shape and neck retraction at the transition to modern turtles: an integrated geometric morphometric approach [0.03%]
几何形态计量法研究龟类演化过渡时期颈部椎骨形状变化及其缩颈功能的演化变迁

Ingmar Werneburg et al.
The unique ability of modern turtles to retract their head and neck into the shell through a side-necked (pleurodiran) or hidden-necked (cryptodiran) motion is thought to have evolved independently in crown turtles. The anatomical changes t...

Cancer is a somatic evolutionary process characterized by the accumulation of mutations, which contribute to tumor growth, clinical progression, immune escape, and drug resistance development. Evolutionary theory can be used to analyze the ...
From gene trees to a dated allopolyploid network: insights from the angiosperm genus Viola (Violaceae) [0.03%]
从基因树到有日期的异源多倍体网络：被子植物属Viola（ Violaceae）的新见解

Allopolyploidization accounts for a significant fraction of speciation events in many eukaryotic lineages. However, existing phylogenetic and dating methods require tree-like topologies and are unable to handle the network-like phylogenetic...

Current phylogenomic data sets highlight the need for species tree methods able to deal with several sources of gene tree/species tree incongruence. At the same time, we need to make most use of all available data. Most species tree methods...
