Integrative chloroplast genomics unravels phylogenetic discordance in Glehnia (Apiaceae)
The Glehnia F. Schmidt ex Miq. is a monotypic genus exhibiting a trans-Pacific disjunction pattern across East Asia and western North America. It comprises G. littoralis F. Schmidt ex Miq., located in East Asia, and its western North American subspecies,

Phylogenetic Discordance between Species Tree and Functional Gene Trees of Fagaceous Genera
Fagaceae species predominate a diverse range of habitats in the northern hemisphere and are critical to the ecosystem and economy. The high morphological and genetic diversity of these species serves as the foundation for adaptation to environmental ...

Reconciling taxonomy and phylogenetic inference: formalism and algorithms for describing discord and inferring taxonomic roots [PDF]
Although taxonomy is often used informally to evaluate the results of phylogenetic inference and find the root of phylogenetic trees, algorithmic methods to do so are lacking.

Comparative Analyses of 3,654 Plastid Genomes Unravel Insights Into Evolutionary Dynamics and Phylogenetic Discordance of Green Plants. [PDF]
The plastid organelle is essential for many vital cellular processes and the growth and development of plants. The availability of a large number of complete plastid genomes could be effectively utilized to understand the evolution of the plastid genomes and phylogenetic relationships among plants.

Phylogenomics and Pervasive Genome-Wide Phylogenetic Discordance Among Fin Whales (Balaenoptera physalus). [PDF]
Abstract Phylogenomics has the power to uncover complex phylogenetic scenarios across the genome. In most cases, no single topology is reflected across the entire genome as the phylogenetic signal differs among genomic regions due to processes, such as introgression and incomplete lineage sorting.

Interrogating Phylogenetic Discordance Resolves Deep Splits in the Rapid Radiation of Old World Fruit Bats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae). [PDF]
Abstract The family Pteropodidae (Old World fruit bats) comprises $>$200 species distributed across the Old World tropics and subtropics. Most pteropodids feed on fruit, suggesting an early origin of frugivory, although several lineages have shifted to nectar-based diets.

Confusion will be my epitaph: genome-scale discordance stifles phylogenetic resolution of Holothuroidea [PDF]
Sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea) are a diverse clade of echinoderms found from intertidal waters to the bottom of the deepest oceanic trenches. Their reduced skeletons and limited number of phylogenetically informative traits have long obfuscated morphological classifications.

INSTRAL: Discordance-aware Phylogenetic Placement using Quartet Scores [PDF]
ABSTRACTPhylogenomic analyses have increasingly adopted species tree reconstruction using methods that account for gene tree discordance using pipelines that require both human effort and computational resources. As the number of available genomes continues to increase, a new problem is facing researchers.

The Potential Role of Androgenesis in Cytoplasmic–Nuclear Phylogenetic Discordance [PDF]
In many organisms, gene trees based on nuclear mark ers and those based on cytoplasmic markers (chloroplasts or mitochondria) sometimes indicate quite different re lationships among the species being studied (e.g., Rieseberg and Soltis 1991; Rieseberg et al. 1996; Cathey et al. 1998; Bergthorsson et al. 2003; Avise 2004; Croucher et al.
