Distinct Community Assembly Mechanisms of Different Growth Stages in a Warm Temperate Forest
Diversity, 2023 Community phylogenetic structure and diversity analysis are useful complements to species-centric approaches in biodiversity studies by providing new insights into the processes that drive community assembly.

Guangxi Zhiwu, 2023 Habitat filtering and dispersal limitation are the main ecological processes affecting species composition variation (β diversity) in forest communities, but their relative importance in subtropical Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) forests remains unclear.

Structural biology and phylogenetic estimation [PDF]
Nature, 1997 When reconstructing evolutionary trees from DNA sequences, it is often assumed that increasing the amount of sequence will improve the phylogenetic estimate1,2. This is based on the notion that historical ‘signal’ will rise above misleading ‘noise’ as more sequence is gathered. Our analysis of mitochondrial genomes fails to support this assumption, but

The phylogenetic structure of the genusAcinetobacter [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1994 16S rDNA sequence analysis was performed on the type strains of all validly described Acinetobacter species and five unnamed Acinetobacter strains. The phylogenetic analyses confirm that Acinetobacter is a coherent genus within the gamma subclass of Proteobacteria and that the species are phylogenetically well defined. A. calcoaceticus, A.

A structural EM algorithm for phylogenetic inference [PDF]
Proceedings of the fifth annual international conference on Computational biology, 2001 A central task in the study of molecular evolution is the reconstruction of a phylogenetic tree from sequences of current-day taxa. The most established approach to tree reconstruction is maximum likelihood (ML) analysis. Unfortunately, searching for the maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree is computationally prohibitive for large data sets.

Structural Phylogenetics with Confidence
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2020 Abstract For evaluating the deepest evolutionary relationships among proteins, sequence similarity is too low for application of sequence-based homology search or phylogenetic methods. In such cases, comparison of protein structures, which are often better conserved than sequences, may provide an alternative means of uncovering deep ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Revealing community assembly and their impacts on ecosystem service is a core issue in microbial ecology. However, what ecological factors play dominant roles in phyllosphere fungal community assembly and how they link to crop quality are largely unknown.

Current biogeographical roles of the Kunlun Mountains
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Large‐scale patterns of biodiversity and formation have garnered increasing attention in biogeography and macroecology. The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) is an ideal area for exploring these issues. However, the QTP consists of multiple geographic subunits,
