Inferring Phylogeny Despite Incomplete Lineage Sorting [PDF]
It is now well known that incomplete lineage sorting can cause serious difficulties for phylogenetic inference, but little attention has been paid to methods that attempt to overcome these difficulties by explicitly considering the processes that produce them.

Incomplete Lineage Sorting in Mammalian Phylogenomics [PDF]
The impact of incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) on phylogenetic conflicts among genes, and the related issue of whether to account for ILS in species tree reconstruction, are matters of intense controversy. Here, focusing on full-genome data in placental mammals, we empirically test two assumptions underlying current usage of tree-building methods that ...

Comparative phylogeography study reveals introgression and incomplete lineage sorting during rapid diversification of Rhodiola. [PDF]
Abstract Background and Aims Many plant taxa in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and the Hengduan Mountains (HM) radiated rapidly during the Quaternary but with frequent secondary contact between diverging populations.

Incomplete Lineage Sorting: Consistent Phylogeny Estimation from Multiple Loci [PDF]
We introduce a simple algorithm for reconstructing phylogenies from multiple gene trees in the presence of incomplete lineage sorting, that is, when the topology of the gene trees may differ from that of the species tree. We show that our technique is statistically consistent under standard stochastic assumptions, that is, it returns the correct tree ...

Exploring Massive Incomplete Lineage Sorting in Arctoids (Laurasiatheria, Carnivora) [PDF]
Freed from the competition of large raptors, Paleocene carnivores could expand their newly acquired habitats in search of prey. Such changing conditions might have led to their successful distribution and rapid radiation. Today, molecular evolutionary biologists are faced, however, with the consequences of such accelerated adaptive radiations, because ...

The Chloranthus sessilifolius genome provides insight into early diversification of angiosperms
Chloranthales remain the last lineage of core angiosperms that lacks a nuclear genome assembly. Here, the authors report the genome assembly of Chloranthus sesilifolius and show that both hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting may have contributed ...

Evolutionary relationships of mitogenomes in a recently radiated Old World avian family
Environmentally heterogeneous mountains provide opportunities for rapid diversification and speciation. The family Prunellidae (accentors) is a group of birds comprising primarily mountain specialists that have recently radiated across the Palearctic ...

Concatenation Analyses in the Presence of Incomplete Lineage Sorting.
Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS), modelled by the multi-species coalescent, is a process that results in a gene tree being different from the species tree. Because ILS is expected to occur for at least some loci within genome-scale analyses, the evaluation of species tree estimation methods in the presence of ILS is of great interest.

Background The Drosophilidae family is traditionally divided into two subfamilies: Drosophilinae and Steganinae. This division is based on morphological characters, and the two subfamilies have been treated as monophyletic in most of the literature, but ...

A six nuclear gene phylogeny of Citrus (Rutaceae) taking into account hybridization and lineage sorting. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Genus Citrus (Rutaceae) comprises many important cultivated species that generally hybridize easily. Phylogenetic study of a group showing extensive hybridization is challenging.
