Gut microbiota may predict host divergence time during Glires evolution

open access: yes, 2017
The gut microbial communities of animals play key roles in host evolution. However, the possible relationship between gut microbiota and host divergence time remains unknown.

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.

Local exponential divergence plot and optimal embedding of a chaotic time-series

open access: yes, 1993
we propose here a local exponential divergence plot which is capable of providing a new means of characterizing chaotic time series. The suggested plot defines a time dependent exponent LAMBDA and a ''plus'' exponent LAMBDA+ which serves as a criterion ...

Phylogeography using mitogenomes: A rare Dipodidae, Sicista betulina, in North‐western Europe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Repeated climatic and vegetation changes during the Pleistocene have shaped biodiversity in Northern Europe including Denmark. The Northern Birch Mouse (Sicista betulina) was one of the first small rodent species to colonize Denmark after the Late ...

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

Molecular evidence that phoronids are a subtaxon of brachiopods (Brachiopoda: Phoronata) and that genetic divergence of metazoan phyla began long before the early Cambrian [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Concatenated SSU (18S) and partial LSU (28S) sequences (~2 kb) from 12 ingroup taxa, comprising 2 phoronids, 2 members of each of the craniid, discinid, and lingulid inarticulate brachiopod lineages, and 4 rhynchonellate, articulate brachiopods (2 ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Simulium jisigouense (Diptera: Simuliidae) and phylogenetic analysis of Simuliidae

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The family Simuliidae belongs to Diptera whose systematic position is still strongly debated. A few mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Simuliidae and none of the subgenus Montisimulium in the genus Simulium have previously been available.

Divergent: The Time Path of Legacy and Athlete Admissions at Harvard [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
Applications to elite US colleges have more than doubled over the past 20 years, with little change in the number of available seats. We examine how this increased competition has affected the admissions advantage that legacies and athletes (LA) receive.

Comparative chloroplast genomics of Caryophyllaceae species: insights into sequence variations and phylogenetic evolution

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Background Caryophyllaceae contains 100 genera and 3000 species, many of which are valuable both ecologically and economically. However, as past research has shown, the fundamental phylogenetic relationships of Caryophyllaceae are still debatable, and ...
