THE RECONSTRUCTION OF ANCESTRAL CHARACTER STATES [PDF]
Evolution, 1996 The problem of error in the phylogenetic reconstruction of ancestral character states is explored by developing the model of Frumhoff and Reeve (1994). Information about the evolutionary rate of change within a character is inferred from the distribution of its character states on a known phylogeny, and this information is used to impose confidence ...

Understanding phenotypical character evolution in parmelioid lichenized fungi (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Parmelioid lichens form a species-rich group of predominantly foliose and fruticose lichenized fungi encompassing a broad range of morphological and chemical diversity.

Evolution of morphological and climatic adaptations in Veronica L. (Plantaginaceae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Perennials and annuals apply different strategies to adapt to the adverse environment, based on ‘tolerance’ and ‘avoidance’, respectively. To understand lifespan evolution and its impact on plant adaptability, we carried out a comparative study of ...

Phylogenetic Relationships and Evolution of the Androecia in Ruteae (Rutaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ruta, which belongs to tribe Ruteae, is the type genus of the subfamily Rutoideae and the family Rutaceae. Molecular systematic studies have shown that the genera in Ruteae are closer related to Aurantioideae than to most other genera of Rutoideae, some ...

The evolution of marine dwelling in Diptera
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Marine dwelling in Diptera has been relatively unexplored and the frequency of transitions to the marine environment and the evolutionary history remain poorly understood. By reviewing records from the World Register of Marine Species and using ancestral

Effects of Phylogenetic Signal on Ancestral State Reconstruction [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2012 One of the standard tools used to understand the processes shaping trait evolution along the branches of a phylogenetic tree is the reconstruction of ancestral states (Pagel 1999). The purpose is to estimate the values of the trait of interest for every internal node of a phylogenetic tree based on the trait values of the extant species, a topology and,

Taxonomy, Phylogeny, Molecular Dating and Ancestral State Reconstruction of Xylariomycetidae (Sordariomycetes) [PDF]
Fungal Diversity, 2021 Abstract Xylariomycetidae ( Ascomycota ) is a highly diversified group with variable stromatic characters. Our research focused on inconspicuous stromatic xylarialean taxa from China, Italy, Russia, Thailand and the United Kingdom. Detailed morphological descriptions, illustrations and combined ITS-LSU- rpb 2- tub 2- tef 1 phylogenies ...

Structures of hyperstable ancestral haloalkane dehalogenases show restricted conformational dynamics
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020 Ancestral sequence reconstruction is a powerful method for inferring ancestors of modern enzymes and for studying structure–function relationships of enzymes.

Investigating the phylogenetic history of toxin tolerance in mushroom‐feeding Drosophila
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Understanding how and when key novel adaptations evolved is a central goal of evolutionary biology. Within the immigrans‐tripunctata radiation of Drosophila, many mushroom‐feeding species are tolerant of host toxins, such as cyclopeptides, that are ...
