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

An automated convergence diagnostic for phylogenetic MCMC analyses
Abstract Assessing convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based analyses is crucial but challenging, especially so in high dimensional and complex spaces such as the space of phylogenetic trees (treespace). In practice, it is assumed that the target distribution is the unique stationary distribution of the MCMC and convergence ...

Multivariate And Phylogenetic Analyses Of Galaxies
Investigating the formation and evolution of galaxies is becoming a complicated process with the increased availability of huge databases as a result of instrumental improvements. In this poster we present preliminary results on two statistical studies using multivariate partitioning and cladistic analyses to find homogeneous groups and their ...

Disentangling the fundamental branching patterns of phylogenetic divergence to refine eco‐phylogenetic analyses [PDF]
Aim: Previous studies have shown that phylogenetic divergence (i.e. the average phylogenetic displacement between species in a community) is highly sensitive to the underlying branching patterns of phylogenies, suggesting that there is a need to ...

A tree kernel to analyse phylogenetic profiles [PDF]
Abstract Motivation: The phylogenetic profile of a protein is a string that encodes the presence or absence of the protein in every fully sequenced genome. Because proteins that participate in a common structural complex or metabolic pathway are likely to evolve in a correlated fashion, the phylogenetic profiles of such proteins are ...
