Trade‐offs in avian parental care: a review of theory and meta‐analysis of brood size manipulations

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The selective forces shaping parental care have been studied for over 50 years. While theoretical and experimental work has yielded qualitative progress, the large body of empirical work testing predictions about parental investment based on life‐history trade‐offs has yet to be synthesized.

Building phenotypic character matrices for phylogenetic inference: exploration of 35 years of practice

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent methodological development in phylogenetic inference has focused predominantly on molecular data. However, renewed interest in other data types, particularly morphological data, has followed from the increased recognition of the power of total evidence and tip‐dating approaches, including fossil data, for inference of time‐scaled trees ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Phylogenetic Networks with Every Embedded Phylogenetic Tree a Base Tree

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2015
We show that the class of tree-child networks is precisely the class of tree-based networks with the property that every embedded phylogenetic tree is a base tree.

Phylogenetic trees in ACL2

Proceedings of the sixth international workshop on the ACL2 theorem prover and its applications - ACL2 '06, 2006
Biologists studying the evolutionary relationships between organisms use software packages to solve the computational problems they encounter. Several of these problems involve the production and analysis of phylogenetic trees. We present our system for phylogenetic tree manipulation, TASPI, which was designed to allow the specification and ...

Statistics for phylogenetic trees

Theoretical Population Biology, 2003
This paper poses the problem of estimating and validating phylogenetic trees in statistical terms. The problem is hard enough to warrant several tacks: we reason by analogy to rounding real numbers, and dealing with ranking data. These are both cases where, as in phylogeny the parameters of interest are not real numbers.

Phylogenetic tree-building

International Journal for Parasitology, 1996
Cladistic analysis is an approach to phylogeny reconstruction that groups taxa in such a way that those with historically more-recent ancestors form groups nested within groups of taxa with more-distant ancestors. This nested set of taxa can be represented as a branching diagram or tree (a cladogram), which is an hypothesis of the evolutionary history ...

Phylogenetic Trees

2000
Abstract Phylogenetic analysis of DNA or protein sequences has become an important tool for studying the evolutionary history of organisms from bacteria to humans. Since the rate of sequence evolution varies extensively with gene or DNA segment (Wilson et al. 1977; Dayhoff et al.
