Maximize Resolution or Minimize Error? Using Genotyping-By-Sequencing to Investigate the Recent Diversification of Helianthemum (Cistaceae) [PDF]
, 2019 A robust phylogenetic framework, in terms of extensive geographical and taxonomic sampling, well-resolved species relationships and high certainty of tree topologies and branch length estimations, is critical in the study of macroevolutionary patterns ...

OBAMA: OBAMA for Bayesian amino-acid model averaging [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Bayesian analyses offer many benefits for phylogenetic, and have been popular for analysis of amino acid alignments. It is necessary to specify a substitution and site model for such analyses, and often an ad hoc, or likelihood based method is

A surrogate function for one-dimensional phylogenetic likelihoods
, 2017 Phylogenetics has seen an steady increase in substitution model complexity, which requires increasing amounts of computational power to compute likelihoods.

Species Limits and Phylogeography of North American Cricket Frogs (Acris: Hylidae) [PDF]
, 2008 Cricket frogs are widely distributed across the eastern United States and two species, the northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans) and the southern cricket frog (A. gryllus) are currently recognized. We generated a phylogenetic hypothesis for Acris using

Phylogenetic analyses of ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) using collagen type I protein sequences
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, comprising over half of all living vertebrate species. Phylogenetic relationships between ray-finned fishes have historically pivoted on the study of morphology ...

Phylogeny and adaptive evolution of the brain-development gene microcephalin (MCPH1) in cetaceans. [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: Representatives of Cetacea have the greatest absolute brain size among animals, and the largest relative brain size aside from humans. Despite this, genes implicated in the evolution of large brain size in primates have yet to be surveyed in ...

Phylogeography by diffusion on a sphere: whole world phylogeography [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Background Techniques for reconstructing geographical history along a phylogeny can answer many questions of interest about the geographical origins of species. Bayesian models based on the assumption that taxa move through a diffusion process have found

Out of the Black Sea: Phylogeography of the Invasive Killer Shrimp Dikerogammarus villosus across Europe [PDF]
, 2015 The amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus has colonized most of the European main inland water bodies in less than 20 years, having deteriorating effect on the local benthic communities. Our aim was to reveal the species phylogeography in the native Black Sea
