Climate and species richness predict the phylogenetic structure of African mammal communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We have little knowledge of how climatic variation (and by proxy, habitat variation) influences the phylogenetic structure of tropical communities.

The Structure of Level-k Phylogenetic Networks [PDF]
, 2009 Evolution is usually described as a phylogenetic tree, but due to some exchange of genetic material, it can be represented as a phylogenetic network which has an underlying tree structure. The notion of level was recently introduced as a parameter on realistic kinds of phylogenetic networks to express their complexity and tree-likeness.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Aim Insects are the most species‐rich clade in the world, but the broad‐scale diversity pattern and the potential drivers have not been well documented for the clade as a whole.

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2019 The genus Marasmius is distributed worldwide, along with a precise identification of this fungus as a pathogen on the Imperata cylindrical plant, although its bioactive role is not well understood.

Phylogenetic fields of species: cross-species patterns of phylogenetic structure and geographical coexistence [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013 Differential coexistence among species underlies geographical patterns of biodiversity. Understanding such patterns has relied either on ecological or historical approaches applied separately. Recently, macroecology and community phylogenetics have tried to integrate both ecological and historical approaches.

Functional and phylogenetic structure of island bird communities [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017 Summary Biodiversity change in anthropogenically transformed habitats is often nonrandom, yet the nature and importance of the different mechanisms shaping community structure are unclear. Here, we extend the classic Theory of Island Biogeography (TIB) to account for nonrandom processes by incorporating species traits and phylogenetic relationships ...

PHYLOGENETIC ORIGINS OF ANTIBODY STRUCTURE [PDF]
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1965 The anuran amphibian, Rana catesbiana, has been found to possess at least two kinds of immunoglobulins corresponding to γG- and γM-classes. These classes have the same chain structures as those of their counterparts in higher animal species. Light chains of both immunoglobulins had molecular weights of 20,000. Heavy chains of the γM-class had molecular

spacodiR: structuring of phylogenetic diversity in ecological communities [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2011 Abstract Motivation: spacodiR is a cross-platform package, written for the R environment, for studying partitioning of diversity among natural communities in space and time. Complementing and extending existing software, spacodiR allows for hypothesis testing and parameter estimation in studying spatial structuring of species ...
