Recent years have seen a rapid expansion of the model space explored in statistical phylogenetics, emphasizing the need for new approaches to statistical model representation and software development. Clear communication and representation ...
Axiomatic opportunities and obstacles for inferring a species tree from gene trees [0.03%]
基因树的理论限制及其对物种树推断的影响

The reconstruction of a central tendency "species tree" from a large number of conflicting gene trees is a central problem in systematic biology. Moreover, it becomes particularly problematic when taxon coverage is patchy, so that not all t...
Biogeographic analysis reveals ancient continental vicariance and recent oceanic dispersal in amphibians [0.03%]
生物地理学分析揭示了两栖动物的古陆间分离和近海扩散

Amphibia comprises over 7000 extant species distributed in almost every ecosystem on every continent except Antarctica. Most species also show high specificity for particular habitats, biomes, or climatic niches, seemingly rendering long-di...
Modelling competition and dispersal in a statistical phylogeographic framework [0.03%]
在一个统计的古生态地理框架下模拟竞争和扩散

Louis Ranjard et al.
Competition between organisms influences the processes governing the colonization of new habitats. As a consequence, species or populations arriving first at a suitable location may prevent secondary colonization. Although adaptation to env...
A protocol for species delineation of public DNA databases, applied to the Insecta [0.03%]
一种用于公共DNA数据库物种划分的协议及其在昆虫纲中的应用
Douglas Chesters,Chao-Dong Zhu
Douglas Chesters
Public DNA databases are composed of data from many different taxa, although the taxonomic annotation on sequences is not always complete, which impedes the utilization of mined data for species-level applications. There is much ongoing wor...
Mixture models of nucleotide sequence evolution that account for heterogeneity in the substitution process across sites and across lineages [0.03%]
用于描述位点和系谱之间的代换过程异质性的混合模型
Vivek Jayaswal,Thomas K F Wong,John Robinson et al.
Vivek Jayaswal et al.
Molecular phylogenetic studies of homologous sequences of nucleotides often assume that the underlying evolutionary process was globally stationary, reversible, and homogeneous (SRH), and that a model of evolution with one or more site-spec...
Insights on the evolution of plant succulence from a remarkable radiation in Madagascar (Euphorbia) [0.03%]
来自马达加斯加(Euphorbia)惊人辐射的一类植物多肉性进化的新见解

Patterns of adaptation in response to environmental variation are central to our understanding of biodiversity, but predictions of how and when broad-scale environmental conditions such as climate affect organismal form and function remain ...
Is diagnosability an indicator of speciation? Response to "Why one century of phenetics is enough" [0.03%]
诊断能否作为物种形成的指标？对“一个世纪的表型分类学已足够”的回应

Integrating incomplete fossils by isolating conflicting signal in saturated and non-independent morphological characters [0.03%]
通过隔离饱合和非独立形态特征中的冲突信号来整合不完整的化石
Liliana M Dávalos,Paúl M Velazco,Omar M Warsi et al.
Liliana M Dávalos et al.
Morphological characters are indispensable in phylogenetic analyses for understanding the pattern, process, and tempo of evolution. If characters are independent and free of systematic errors, then combining as many different kinds of chara...
A generalized K statistic for estimating phylogenetic signal from shape and other high-dimensional multivariate data [0.03%]
一种估计形状和其他高维多元数据的系统发育信号的广义K统计量

Phylogenetic signal is the tendency for closely related species to display similar trait values due to their common ancestry. Several methods have been developed for quantifying phylogenetic signal in univariate traits and for sets of trait...
