Budding speciation, mitochondrial capture and introgression between surface and cave lineages in the Asellus aquaticus species complex

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Replicated pairs of ancestral and evolutionarily derived populations provide opportunities to test hypotheses about the deterministic laws of evolution. The Asellus aquaticus species complex is an invertebrate model system with several independent surface‐to‐cave transitions and a complicated and unresolved evolutionary history.

Local Search and the Evolution of World Models

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

Bayesian phylogenetic inference via Monte Carlo methods

, 2013
A main task in evolutionary biology is phylogenetic tree reconstruction, which determines the ancestral relationships among di erent species based on observed molecular sequences, e.g. DNA data. When a stochastic model, typically continuous time Markov chain (CTMC), is used to describe the evolution, the phylogenetic inference depends on unknown ...

Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Advancing FAIR phylogenetics for health threats: a systematic review of SARS‐CoV‐2 research and guidelines for future outbreaks

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract During the COVID‐19 pandemic, the need for quick public health action often conflicted with the careful methods required in phylogenetics. To explore this, we reviewed 217 SARS‐CoV‐2 studies published from January 2020 to March 2025 in 121 journals.

Clues of ancient incomplete lineage sorting during bivalve evolution undermine support for Heterodonta

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract A long‐standing challenge in phylogenomics has been the resolution of relationships originated from ancient radiations. In these cases, phenomena such as incomplete lineage sorting can increase the support for conflicting resolutions. Most of the diversity in the Class Bivalvia originated during an Ordovician radiation; indeed, several deep ...

The Great Dividing Range as a driver of genetic divergence in a low‐dispersing dragonfly

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Population genomic analyses revealed low genetic differentiation and no discrete population structure across the Great Dividing Range, indicating widespread gene flow in Synthemis eustalacta. Genetic divergence was associated with environmental gradients, elevation and landscape resistance rather than geographic distance, supporting isolation by ...

Genetic Diversity and Impacts of Stocking on Cyprinus carpio Populations in Türkiye: Insights From Mitochondrial, Nuclear, and Microsatellite Markers

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding genetic diversity and population structure is essential for the sustainable management of widely stocked freshwater species such as common carp (Cyprinus carpio). In this study, we conducted a comprehensive genetic assessment of C.

The mediating role of genes in the influence of intestinal flora on type 2 diabetes and the screening of diagnostic markers

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Using Mendelian randomization, TWAS/eQTL analysis, machine learning, and single‐cell RNA sequencing, this study identified gut microbiota taxa causally linked to type 2 diabetes, candidate mediator genes, and diagnostic markers (BEND7, BLVRA, C1orf85, and LAMC1).
