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]
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.

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.

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 ...

Ecological Predictors and Functional Implications of Eye Size in Deep-Sea Shrimps
Constraints on energy resources and available light in the deep sea should place strong selection pressure on eye size, a fundamental determinant of visual ability.

Labellable Phylogenetic Networks
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.

The fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) is a protected animal. Currently, the population in nature is declining due to over-fishing and changes in environmental quality.

Robust Phylogenetic Regression
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.
