Ecology 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 ...

Clustering systems of phylogenetic networks
Theory in Biosciences, 2023 AbstractRooted acyclic graphs appear naturally when the phylogenetic relationship of a set X of taxa involves not only speciations but also recombination, horizontal transfer, or hybridization that cannot be captured by trees. A variety of classes of such networks have been discussed in the literature, including phylogenetic, level-1, tree-child, tree ...

Frontiers 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.

Phylogenetic Comparative Methods on Phylogenetic Networks with Reticulations [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2017 Abstract The goal of phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) is to study the distribution of quantitative traits among related species. The observed traits are often seen as the result of a Brownian Motion (BM) along the branches of a phylogenetic tree.

Rearrangement operations on unrooted phylogenetic networks
Theory 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 ...

Perfect phylogenetic networks with recombination [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2001 ACM symposium on Applied computing, 2001 The perfect phylogeny problem is a classical problem in evolutionary tree construction. In this paper, we propose a new model called phylogenetic network with recombination that takes recombination events into account. We show that the problem of finding a perfect phylogenetic network with the minimum number of recombination events is NP-hard; we also ...

Tree-Based Unrooted Phylogenetic Networks [PDF]
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2017 Abstract Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of phylogenetic trees that are used to represent non-tree-like evolutionary histories that arise in organisms such as plants and bacteria, or uncertainty in evolutionary histories. An unrooted phylogenetic network on a non-empty, finite set X of taxa, or network, is a connected, simple graph

Nonbinary Tree-Based Phylogenetic Networks [PDF]
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, 2018 Rooted phylogenetic networks are used to describe evolutionary histories that contain non-treelike evolutionary events such as hybridization and horizontal gene transfer. In some cases, such histories can be described by a phylogenetic base-tree with additional linking arcs, which can for example represent gene transfer events.

Frin: An Efficient Method for Representing Genome Evolutionary History
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Phylogenetic analysis is important in understanding the process of biological evolution, and phylogenetic trees are used to represent the evolutionary history.
