Character-State Reconstruction to Infer Ancestral Protein-Protein Interaction Patterns
Bio-Protocol, 2015 Protein-protein interactions are at the core of a plethora of developmental, physiological and biochemical processes. Consequently, insights into the origin and evolutionary dynamics of protein-protein interactions may provide information on the ...

The Evolution and Biogeography of Wolbachia in Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Diversity, 2020 Wolbachia bacteria are widely distributed across invertebrate taxa, including ants, but several aspects of this host-associated interaction are still poorly explored, especially with regard to the ancestral state association, origin, and dispersion ...

Ecological selectivity and the evolution of mammalian substrate preference across the K–Pg boundary
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) mass extinction 66 million years ago was characterized by a worldwide ecological catastrophe and rapid species turnover. Large‐scale devastation of forested environments resulting from the Chicxulub asteroid impact likely ...

More Taxa Are Not Necessarily Better for the Reconstruction of Ancestral Character States [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2008 We show that the accuracy of reconstrucing an ancestral state is not an increasing function of the size of taxon sampling.

Shared Escovopsis parasites between leaf-cutting and non-leaf-cutting ants in the higher attine fungus-growing ant symbiosis [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Fungus-gardening (attine) ants grow fungus for food in protected gardens, which contain beneficial, auxiliary microbes, but also microbes harmful to gardens.

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 ...
