Developing and applying heterogeneous phylogenetic models with XRate [PDF]
, 2012 Modeling sequence evolution on phylogenetic trees is a useful technique in computational biology. Especially powerful are models which take account of the heterogeneous nature of sequence evolution according to the "grammar" of the encoded gene features.

A reconstruction of sexual modes throughout animal evolution
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background Although most extant animals have separate sexes, simultaneous hermaphrodites can be found in lineages throughout the animal kingdom. However, the sexual modes of key ancestral nodes including the last common ancestor (LCA) of all animals ...

Alignment-free phylogenetic reconstruction: Sample complexity via a branching process analysis [PDF]
, 2012 We present an efficient phylogenetic reconstruction algorithm allowing insertions and deletions which provably achieves a sequence-length requirement (or sample complexity) growing polynomially in the number of taxa. Our algorithm is distance-based, that

Necessary and sufficient conditions for consistent root reconstruction in Markov models on trees
, 2019 We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for consistent root reconstruction in continuous-time Markov models with countable state space on bounded-height trees.

The evolution of Cayaponia (Cucurbitaceae) [PDF]
, 2010 Premise of the study: The Cucurbitaceae genus Cayaponia comprises ∼60 species that occur from Uruguay to the southern United States and the Caribbean; C. africana occurs in West Africa and on Madagascar.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Previous phylogenetic analyses of primnoid octocorals utilizing morphological or molecular data have each recovered evolutionary relationships among genera that are largely incongruent with each other, with some exceptions.

Substrate thermal properties influence ventral brightness evolution in ectotherms
Communications Biology, 2021 Jonathan Goldenberg et al. use photographic data and ancestral state reconstruction of 126 viper species to show that substrate type influences the evolution of ventral brightness for efficient heat transfer. Their results suggest that these patterns may
