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.

The Role of Gene Flow in the Diversification of the Monkey Treefrog Complex Across the South American Dry Diagonal

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Phylogeography and Contact Zones of the Common Grass Snake in Poland (Squamata: Natricidae: Natrix natrix)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 209-219, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Until now, the genetic identity of common grass snakes (Natrix natrix) in Poland remained poorly understood. This study presents the first comprehensive phylogeographic analysis for Poland using mitochondrial DNA sequences (cyt b and ND4 + tRNAs) and 13 nuclear microsatellite loci.

Plastid phylogenomics and cytonuclear discordance in Rubioideae, Rubiaceae.

PLoS ONE
In this study of evolutionary relationships in the subfamily Rubioideae (Rubiaceae), we take advantage of the off-target proportion of reads generated via previous target capture sequencing projects based on nuclear genomic data to build a plastome ...

Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Is Associated With a Dysbiotic Oral Microbiome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 256-269, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurological impairment. While the gut microbiota's role in MS is extensively studied, the association between the oral microbiota and MS remains underexplored, particularly in North American cohorts.

Demographic Models and Behavioral Assessments Uncover Distinct Species Histories in the Pseudocryptic Nudibranch Genus Hermissenda

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We reconstructed the speciation history of the recently split pseudocryptic nudibranch genus Hermissenda, finding divergence times in the Pleistocene (1.29–0.55 mya). Demographic modeling and behavioral experiments show no gene flow and assortative mating between sympatric species H. crassicornis (s.s.) and H.

Phylogenomics of an extra-Antarctic notothenioid radiation reveals a previously unrecognized lineage and diffuse species boundaries

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background The impressive adaptive radiation of notothenioid fishes in Antarctic waters is generally thought to have been facilitated by an evolutionary key innovation, antifreeze glycoproteins, permitting the rapid evolution of more than 120 species ...

Evolution and Climate Adaptation in Eurasian Gyrfalcon Populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This reports the influence of past, current and future Arctic climate change to the evolution of Eurasian gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus), and reveals that its current evolutionary potential is insufficient to cope with the ongoing Arctic warming. ABSTRACT Climate change is considered a key driver for shaping ecological and evolutionary processes of ...

A MOSAIC of methods: Improving ortholog detection through integration of algorithmic diversity

, 2014
Ortholog detection (OD) is a critical step for comparative genomic analysis of protein-coding sequences. In this paper, we begin with a comprehensive comparison of four popular, methodologically diverse OD methods: MultiParanoid, Blat, Multiz, and OMA ...
