Molecular phylogenetic evaluation of classification and scenarios of character evolution in calcareous sponges (Porifera, Class Calcarea). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Calcareous sponges (Phylum Porifera, Class Calcarea) are known to be taxonomically difficult. Previous molecular studies have revealed many discrepancies between classically recognized taxa and the observed relationships at the order, family and genus ...

Influence of microhabitat, fecundity, and parental care on the evolution of sexual size dimorphism in Caribbean Eleutherodactylus frogs

open access: yesEvolution, Volume 76, Issue 12, Page 3041-3053, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Rensch's rule suggests that sexual size dimorphism (SSD) increases with species size when males are the larger sex, whereas it decreases when females are the larger sex. However, the process responsible for this pattern remains obscure. SSD can result from sexual selection, such as intrasexual competition for access to mates, or from natural ...

Phylogenetic relationships among four species of the guarani group of Drosophila (Diptera, Drosophilidae) as inferred by molecular and morphological analyses

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2002
Traditionally, the Drosophila guarani species group has been divided into two subgroups: the guarani and the guaramunu subgroups. Two, out of the four species included in this research, are members of the guarani subgroup (D. ornatifrons Duda, 1927 and D.

Phylogeny of the Chinese Subgenera of the Genus Homoneura (Diptera, Lauxaniidae, Homoneurinae) Based on Morphological Characters

open access: yesInsects, 2022
The genus Homoneura comprises over 700 described species in eight known subgenera distributed worldwide and has the highest species richness of Lauxaniidae. Five subgenera and more than 200 species have currently been recorded from China.

Phylogeny of the Neotropical element of the Randia clade (Gardenieae, Rubiaceae, Gentianales) [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background and aims – Generic limits of the tropical tribe Gardenieae (Ixoroideae, Rubiaceae) have partly remained unsettled. We produced a new phylogeny of the Randia clade, with emphasis on its Neotropical clade comprising five genera (Casasia, Randia,

Why the monophyly of Nymphaeaceae currently remains indeterminate: an assessment based on gene-wise plastid phylogenomics

open access: yesPlant Systematics and Evolution, 2019
The monophyly of Nymphaeaceae (water lilies) represents an important, but controversial aspect in the effort to understand the evolutionary history of early-diverging angiosperms.

Recombination confounds the early evolutionary history of human immunodeficiency virus type 1: Subtype G is a circulating recombinant form [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) is classified in nine subtypes (A to D, F, G, H, J, and K), a number of subsubtypes, and several circulating recombinant forms (CRFs).

A Likelihood-Ratio Test of Monophyly [PDF]

open access: yesSystematic Biology, 1996
Many phylogenetic analyses are inspired by or depend upon the monophyly of a group specified a priori. Also, many evolutionary problems for which phytogenies are useful do not require every detail of the phylogeny to be estimated correctly but depend upon the monophyly (or lack thereof) of a particular group.

Pangenomic Definition of Prokaryotic Species and the Phylogenetic Structure of Prochlorococcus spp.

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The pangenome is the collection of all groups of orthologous genes (OGGs) from a set of genomes. We apply the pangenome analysis to propose a definition of prokaryotic species based on identification of lineage-specific gene sets.

Strong phylogenetic congruence between Tulasnella fungi and their associated Drakaeinae orchids

open access: yesJournal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 221-237, January 2023., 2023
Representatives of five genera of Drakaeinae orchids, from top left to bottom right: Arthrochilus latipes, Chiloglottis trilabra, Caleana major, Paracaleana minor, Drakaea livida. Abstract The study of congruency between phylogenies of interacting species can provide a powerful approach for understanding the evolutionary history of symbiotic ...
