Statistical Inference of Allopolyploid Species Networks in the Presence of Incomplete Lineage Sorting [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2013 Polyploidy is an important speciation mechanism, particularly in land plants. Allopolyploid species are formed after hybridization between otherwise intersterile parental species. Recent theoretical progress has led to successful implementation of species tree models that take population genetic parameters into account.

Non-parametric correction of estimated gene trees using TRACTION
Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2020 Motivation Estimated gene trees are often inaccurate, due to insufficient phylogenetic signal in the single gene alignment, among other causes. Gene tree correction aims to improve the accuracy of an estimated gene tree by using computational techniques ...

Inferring Kangaroo Phylogeny from Incongruent Nuclear and Mitochondrial Genes [PDF]
, 2015 The marsupial genus Macropus includes three subgenera, the familiar large grazing kangaroos and wallaroos of M. (Macropus) and M. (Osphranter), as well as the smaller mixed grazing/browsing wallabies of M. (Notamacropus).

Simulation-Based Evaluation of Hybridization Network Reconstruction Methods in the Presence of Incomplete Lineage Sorting. [PDF]
Evol Bioinform Online, 2017 Hybridization events generate reticulate species relationships, giving rise to species networks rather than species trees. We report a comparative study of consensus, maximum parsimony, and maximum likelihood methods of species network reconstruction using gene trees simulated assuming a known species history.

An approximate likelihood method reveals ancient gene flow between human, chimpanzee and gorilla
Peer Community JournalGene flow and incomplete lineage sorting are two distinct sources of phylogenetic conflict, i.e., gene trees that differ in topology from each other and from the species tree.

Coalescent histories on phylogenetic networks and detection of hybridization despite incomplete lineage sorting. [PDF]
Syst Biol, 2011 Analyses of the increasingly available genomic data continue to reveal the extent of hybridization and its role in the evolutionary diversification of various groups of species. We show, through extensive coalescent-based simulations of multilocus data sets on phylogenetic networks, how divergence times before and after hybridization events can result ...

An analytical comparison of coalescent-based multilocus methods: The three-taxon case [PDF]
, 2012 Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) is a common source of gene tree incongruence in multilocus analyses. A large number of methods have been developed to infer species trees in the presence of ILS.
