Divergence Time Estimation of Aloes and Allies (Xanthorrhoeaceae) Based on Three Marker Genes

open access: yesDiversity, 2018
Aloes and allies are prominent members of African succulent vegetation and especially of the highly diverse Cape Flora. The main goal of this study was to obtain age estimates for alooids by calibrating a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis based on two ...

Molecular characterisation of dengue virus type 1 reveals lineage replacement during circulation in Brazilian territory

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012
Dengue fever is the most important arbovirus infection found in tropical regions around the world. Dispersal of the vector and an increase in migratory flow between countries have led to large epidemics and severe clinical outcomes, such as dengue ...

Phylogeny and Evolutionary Timescale of Muscidae (Diptera: Calyptratae) Inferred from Mitochondrial Genomes

open access: yesInsects, 2023
House flies (Muscidae) comprise the most species-rich family of the muscoid grade with over 5000 described species worldwide, and they are abundant in various terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

The impact of Pleistocene glaciations and environmental gradients on the genetic structure of Embothrium coccineum

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
The South American temperate forests were subjected to drastic topographic and climatic changes during the Pliocene‐Pleistocene as a consequence of the Andean orogeny and glacial cycles. Such changes are common drivers of genetic structure and adaptation.

TECHNOLOGICAL ASSIMILATION AND DIVERGENCE IN TIMES OF CRISIS

open access: yesTechnological and Economic Development of Economy, 2015
We study an endogenous stochastic growth model whose dynamic evolution is determined by an adaptive learning process defining the accumulation of technological knowledge within countries. Both the assimilation of technological knowledge and the arrival rate of innovations depend on the technological development level of countries.

Phylogeny, Taxonomy, and Biogeography of Pterocarya (Juglandaceae)

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Relict species play an important role in understanding the biogeography of intercontinental disjunctions. Pterocarya (a relict genus) is the valuable model taxon for studying the biogeography of East Asian versus southern European/West Asian disjunct ...

Phylogenetic and genetic evolutionary analyses of the mitochondrial genome of Mastophorus muris in Neodon fuscus from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
The larvae of the nematode family can infect several animals. Mastophorus muris is a parasitic nematode that infects mammals and has a worldwide distribution. In this study, the phylogenetic relationships and differentiation time of M.

Mitochondrial DNA analyses revealed distinct lineages in an alpine mammal, Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) in Xinjiang, China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Maternal lineages of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are recognized as important components of intra and interspecific biodiversity and help us to disclose the phylogeny and divergence times of many taxa.

PERSPECTIVE: GENE DIVERGENCE, POPULATION DIVERGENCE, AND THE VARIANCE IN COALESCENCE TIME IN PHYLOGEOGRAPHIC STUDIES [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 2000
Molecular methods as applied to the biogeography of single species (phylogeography) or multiple codistributed species (comparative phylogeography) have been productively and extensively used to elucidate common historical features in the diversification of the Earth's biota. However, only recently have methods for estimating population divergence times

New Approximations for f-Divergence via Trapezoid and Midpoint Inequalities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Using sharp inequalities of trapezoid and midpoint type in terms of the infinum and supremum of the derivative, some new and better approximation of f−divergence are given.
