Phylogenetic relatedness of circulating HIV-1C variants in Mochudi, Botswana.

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundDetermining patterns of HIV transmission is increasingly important for the most efficient use of modern prevention interventions. HIV phylogeny can provide a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying HIV transmission networks in ...

Phylogenetic relatedness and the determinants of competitive outcomes

Ecology Letters, 2014
Recent hypotheses argue that phylogenetic relatedness should predict both the niche differences that stabilise coexistence and the average fitness differences that drive competitive dominance.

Phylogenetic relatedness, phenotypic similarity, and plant-soil feedbacks [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2016
This is the accepted manuscript of an article published by Wiley.Plant-soil feedbacks contribute to species invasions, the maintenance of biodiversity, and climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their far-reaching importance, we lack a

Phylogenetic Relatedness of HIV-1 Donor and Recipient Populations [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013
To the Editor—A recent article by Redd et al [1] reported preferential transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) most closely related to strains sampled at least 2 years prior to transmission (ancestral), compared with strains sampled just after transmission (contemporary), in heterosexual couples in Rakai, Uganda. Characterization of

Invasive alien plants are phylogenetically distinct from other alien species across spatial and taxonomic scales in China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionPhylogenetic relatedness is one of the important factors in the community assembly process. Here, we aimed to understand the large-scale phylogenetic relationship between alien plant species at different stages of the invasion process and how

Phylogenetic Relatedness Influences Plant Interspecific Interactions Across Stress Levels in Coastal Ecosystems: a Meta-Analysis [PDF]

, 2016
Positive and negative interactions can occur simultaneously between plant species. According to the stress gradient hypothesis (SGH), species interactions shift towards more facilitative interactions or reductions in competition with increasing stress ...

Life expectancy in ants explains variation in helpfulness regardless of phylogenetic relatedness. [PDF]

Behav Ecol
Abstract Rescue behavior aims to free a relative from danger. Ants are particularly known for such helpfulness and, perhaps not coincidentally, also show the highest level of social organization in the animal kingdom, i.e. eusociality.

Phylogenetic Relatedness Does not Predict Patterns of Parallel Transcriptome Adaptation in Drosophila. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol
Abstract Identifying the factors determining the repeatability of adaptation is a long-standing problem in evolutionary biology. Addressing this problem requires both comparative analysis and an understanding of how genetic variation within species responds to natural selection.
