Global biodiversity assessment and hyper-cryptic species complexes: more than one species of elephant in the room? [0.03%]
关于全球生物多样性评估及超隐秘物种复合体：房间里的象不止一头？

Mark Adams et al.
Several recent estimates of global biodiversity have concluded that the total number of species on Earth lies near the lower end of the wide range touted in previous decades. However, none of these recent estimates formally explore the real...
Inferring heterogeneous evolutionary processes through time: from sequence substitution to phylogeography [0.03%]
从序列替代到谱系地理学的时间异质性进化过程推理

Filip Bielejec et al.
Molecular phylogenetic and phylogeographic reconstructions generally assume time-homogeneous substitution processes. Motivated by computational convenience, this assumption sacrifices biological realism and offers little opportunity to unco...

The multispecies coalescent has provided important progress for evolutionary inferences, including increasing the statistical rigor and objectivity of comparisons among competing species delimitation models. However, Bayesian species delimi...
Incorporating color into integrative taxonomy: analysis of the varied tit (Sittiparus varius) complex in East Asia [0.03%]

Species designations are critically important scientific hypotheses that serve as the foundational units in a wide range of biological subdisciplines. A growing realization that some classes of data fail to delimit species under certain con...
Competitive release leads to range expansion and rampant speciation in malagasy dung beetles [0.03%]
竞争性发布导致马达加斯加粪肥甲虫的范围扩大和过度特化物种形成

Competition is often thought to promote ecological diversification and thereby to facilitate the coexistence of competitors during evolutionary radiations. At large spatial scales, species may also coexist by having allopatric distributions...

Predicting the ancestral character changes in a tree is typically easier than predicting the root state [0.03%]
预测树中祖先特征的变化通常比预测根状态要容易

Predicting the ancestral sequences of a group of homologous sequences related by a phylogenetic tree has been the subject of many studies, and numerous methods have been proposed for this purpose. Theoretical results are available that show...
The emergence of lobsters: phylogenetic relationships, morphological evolution and divergence time comparisons of an ancient group (decapoda: achelata, astacidea, glypheidea, polychelida) [0.03%]
十足目有螯亚目的系统发育、形态演化及古分化时间分析：十足目分支群（无螯下目、蝲蛄总科、沟挠虾下目和多螯虾下目）的起源与分化研究

Heather D Bracken-Grissom et al.
Lobsters are a ubiquitous and economically important group of decapod crustaceans that include the infraorders Polychelida, Glypheidea, Astacidea and Achelata. They include familiar forms such as the spiny, slipper, clawed lobsters and cray...

Lateral gene transfer (LGT)--which transfers DNA between two non-vertically related individuals belonging to the same or different species--is recognized as a major force in prokaryotic evolution, and evidence of its impact on eukaryotic ev...
Bayesian estimation of speciation and extinction from incomplete fossil occurrence data [0.03%]
基于不完整化石记录的物种分化和灭绝的贝叶斯估计方法
Daniele Silvestro,Jan Schnitzler,Lee Hsiang Liow et al.
Daniele Silvestro et al.
The temporal dynamics of species diversity are shaped by variations in the rates of speciation and extinction, and there is a long history of inferring these rates using first and last appearances of taxa in the fossil record. Understanding...
