Phylogeny and Biogeographic History of Parnassius Butterflies (Papilionidae: Parnassiinae) Reveal Their Origin and Deep Diversification in West China

open access: yesInsects, 2022
We studied 239 imagoes of 12 Parnassius species collected from the mountains of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) and its neighbouring areas in China.

Phylogenetic Networks as Circuits With Resistance Distance

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Phylogenetic networks are notoriously difficult to reconstruct. Here we suggest that it can be useful to view unknown genetic distance along edges in phylogenetic networks as analogous to unknown resistance in electric circuits. This resistance distance,

Sympatric divergence of the ergot fungus, Claviceps purpurea, populations infecting agricultural and nonagricultural grasses in North America

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The ergot diseases of agricultural and nonagricultural grasses are caused by the infection of Claviceps spp. (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) on florets, producing dark spur‐like sclerotia on spikes that are toxic to humans and animals, leading to detrimental ...

Different influences of phylogenetically conserved and independent floral traits on plant functional specialization and pollination network structure

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Plant specialization and pollination network structure play important roles in community assembly. Floral traits can mediate plant–pollinator interactions and thus have important impacts on nestedness and modularity of pollination network.

Rearrangement operations on unrooted phylogenetic networks

open access: yesTheory and Applications of Graphs, 2019
Rearrangement operations transform a phylogenetic tree into another one and hence induce a metric on the space of phylogenetic trees. Popular operations for unrooted phylogenetic trees are NNI (nearest neighbour interchange), SPR (subtree prune and ...

TripNet: a method for constructing rooted phylogenetic networks from rooted triplets. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The problem of constructing an optimal rooted phylogenetic network from an arbitrary set of rooted triplets is an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm called TripNet, which tries to construct a rooted phylogenetic network with

Connectome topology of mammalian brains and its relationship to taxonomy and phylogeny

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Network models of anatomical connections allow for the extraction of quantitative features describing brain organization, and their comparison across brains from different species.

QS-Net: Reconstructing Phylogenetic Networks Based on Quartet and Sextet

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
Phylogenetic networks are used to estimate evolutionary relationships among biological entities or taxa involving reticulate events such as horizontal gene transfer, hybridization, recombination, and reassortment.

Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup X ST-5799 (ST-22 complex) in Turkey: A unique pediatric case

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2018
Although outbreaks of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup X occured in a couple of African countries, a limited number of serogroup X meningococcal cases were reported in America and Europe as well as Turkey.
