The Dynamics of Incomplete Lineage Sorting across the Ancient Adaptive Radiation of Neoavian Birds. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2015
The diversification of neoavian birds is one of the most rapid adaptive radiations of extant organisms. Recent whole-genome sequence analyses have much improved the resolution of the neoavian radiation and suggest concurrence with the Cretaceous ...

Widespread discordance of gene trees with species tree in Drosophila: evidence for incomplete lineage sorting.

PLoS Genetics, 2006
The phylogenetic relationship of the now fully sequenced species Drosophila erecta and D. yakuba with respect to the D. melanogaster species complex has been a subject of controversy.

Euarchontoglires Challenged by Incomplete Lineage Sorting. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2022
Euarchontoglires, once described as Supraprimates, comprise primates, colugos, tree shrews, rodents, and lagomorphs in a clade that evolved about 90 million years ago (mya) from a shared ancestor with Laurasiatheria. The rapid speciation of groups within Euarchontoglires, and the subsequent inherent incomplete marker fixation in ancestral lineages, led

Incomplete lineage sorting and phenotypic evolution in marsupials. [PDF]

Cell, 2022
Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) makes ancestral genetic polymorphisms persist during rapid speciation events, inducing incongruences between gene trees and species trees. ILS has complicated phylogenetic inference in many lineages, including hominids. However, we lack empirical evidence that ILS leads to incongruent phenotypic variation.

Incomplete lineage sorting and introgression among genera and species of Liliaceae tribe Tulipeae: insights from phylogenomics [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Phylogenetic research in Tulipa (Liliaceae), a genus of significant economic and horticultural value, has relied on limited nuclear (mostly nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer, nrITS) and plastid DNA sequences, resulting in low ...

Incomplete lineage sorting and long-branch attraction confound phylogenomic inference of Pancrustacea

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionThe phylogenetic relationships within Pancrustacea (including Crustacea and Hexapoda) remain elusive despite analyses using various molecular data sets and analytical approaches over the past decade.

The genome of the relict earless monitor lizard, Lanthanotus borneensis, and the Toxicofera hypothesis [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background The earless monitor lizard, Lanthanotus borneensis, is a unique living fossil restricted to the island of Borneo and a possible key to understanding the evolution of the venom delivery system and secondary adaptation to water in lizards and ...

Scaphopoda is the sister taxon to Bivalvia: Evidence of ancient incomplete lineage sorting. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023
The almost simultaneous emergence of major animal phyla during the early Cambrian shaped modern animal biodiversity. Reconstructing evolutionary relationships among such closely spaced branches in the animal tree of life has proven to be a major challenge, hindering understanding of early animal evolution and the fossil record.

SINE-Based Phylogenomics Reveal Extensive Introgression and Incomplete Lineage Sorting in Myotis. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2022
Using presence/absence data from over 10,000 Ves SINE insertions, we reconstructed a phylogeny for 11 Myotis species. With nearly one-third of individual Ves gene trees discordant with the overall species tree, phylogenetic conflict appears to be rampant in this genus.

Species Tree Branch Length Estimation despite Incomplete Lineage Sorting, Duplication, and Loss. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol
Abstract Phylogenetic branch lengths are essential for many analyses, such as estimating divergence times, analyzing rate changes, and studying adaptation. However, true gene tree heterogeneity due to incomplete lineage sorting, gene duplication and loss, and horizontal gene transfer can complicate the estimation of species tree ...
