Phylogenetic Approaches to Natural Product Structure Prediction [PDF]

, 2012
Phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary relatedness among groups of organisms. Molecular phylogenetics uses sequence data to infer these relationships for both organisms and the genes they maintain. With the large amount of publicly available sequence data, phylogenetic inference has become increasingly important in all fields of biology. In the

Species and Phylogenetic Diversity of Woody Plants Shift With the Elevational Gradient in Subtropical Forests in South China

Ecology and Evolution
The distribution of biodiversity along elevational gradients and the drivers of these patterns are research hotspots in community ecology; nonetheless, these aspects remain insufficiently understood.

Inferring epidemic contact structure from phylogenetic trees.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2012
Contact structure is believed to have a large impact on epidemic spreading and consequently using networks to model such contact structure continues to gain interest in epidemiology.

Revelation of native vegetation succession on tropical coral island ecological restoration

Ecosphere
Tropical coral island vegetation poses formidable challenges, particularly in elucidating the determinants of vegetation species richness. In response, our study compared the differences in plant species biodiversity and soil physicochemical properties ...

Phylogenetic overdispersion of plant species in southern Brazilian savannas

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Ecological communities are the result of not only present ecological processes, such as competition among species and environmental filtering, but also past and continuing evolutionary processes.

Phylogenetic clustering of fungal communities in human‐disturbed streams

Ecosphere, 2016
Phylogenetic community structure is increasingly used to examine community assembly, but the influence of anthropogenic disturbance on phylogenetic community structure remains little explored.

Phylogenetic pattern of alpine plants along latitude and longitude in Hengduan Mountains Region

Plant Diversity, 2017
To detect the horizontal pattern of phylogenetic structure shown by alpine plants, we measured phylogenetic structure using net related index (NRI) and net nearest taxon index (NTI), and analyzed the phylogenetic structure patterns of alpine plants along

Population Structure and Phylogenetics v1

, 2021
The European polecat (Mustela putorius) is a mammalian predator which breeds across much of Europe east to central Asia. In Great Britain, following years of persecution the European polecat has recently undergone a population increase due to legal protection and its range now overlaps that of feral domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo). During this
