Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 In this article we propose a novel method to estimate the frequency distribution of linguistic variables while controlling for statistical non-independence due to shared ancestry. Unlike previous approaches, our technique uses all available data, from language families large and small as well as from isolates, while controlling for different degrees of

Microbial Phylogenetic Context Using Phylogenetic Outlines [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2021 Abstract Microbial studies typically involve the sequencing and assembly of draft genomes for individual microbes or whole microbiomes. Given a draft genome, one first task is to determine its phylogenetic context, that is, to place it relative to the set of related reference genomes.

New Phytologist, 2021 SummaryPolyploidy is a dominant feature of extant plant diversity. However, major research questions, including whether polyploidy is important to long‐term evolution or is just ‘evolutionary noise’, remain unresolved due to difficulties associated with the generation and analysis of data from polyploid lineages.

PLOS Computational Biology, 2022 In phylogenetics, reconciliation is an approach to connect the history of two or more coevolving biological entities. The general idea of reconciliation is that a phylogenetic tree representing the evolution of an entity (e.g. homologous genes, symbionts…) can be drawn within another phylogenetic tree representing an encompassing entity (respectively ...

Labellable Phylogenetic Networks
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2023 Abstract Phylogenetic networks are mathematical representations of evolutionary history that are able to capture both tree-like evolutionary processes (speciations) and non-tree-like ‘reticulate’ processes such as hybridization or horizontal gene transfer.

Robust Phylogenetic Regression
Systematic Biology, 2022 Abstract Modern comparative biology owes much to phylogenetic regression. At its conception, this technique sparked a revolution that armed biologists with phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) for disentangling evolutionary correlations from those arising from hierarchical phylogenetic relationships.

Uprooted Phylogenetic Networks [PDF]
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2017 The need for structures capable of accommodating complex evolutionary signals such as those found in, for example, wheat has fueled research into phylogenetic networks. Such structures generalize the standard model of a phylogenetic tree by also allowing for cycles and have been introduced in rooted and unrooted form.

Phylogenetic comparative assembly [PDF]
Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2009 Recent high throughput sequencing technologies are capable of generating a huge amount of data for bacterial genome sequencing projects. Although current sequence assemblers successfully merge the overlapping reads, often several contigs remain which cannot be assembled any further.
