A General Substitution Matrix for Structural Phylogenetics [PDF]
Sequence-based maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetics is a widely used method for inferring evolutionary relationships, which has illuminated the evolutionary histories of proteins and the organisms that harbour them.

Relaxed Phylogenetics and Dating with Confidence
In phylogenetics, the unrooted model of phylogeny and the strict molecular clock model are two extremes of a continuum. Despite their dominance in phylogenetic inference, it is evident that both are biologically unrealistic and that the real evolutionary

The dawn of relaxed phylogenetics
Tracing the history of evolution across time is a primary goal of evolutionary biology. The 2006 publication of a landmark study on relaxed phylogenetics in PLOS Biology enabled biologists to shed light on evolution's tempo and shaped the future of ...

Latitudinal Diversity Gradient in the Changing World: Retrospectives and Perspectives
The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most extensive and important biodiversity patterns on the Earth. Various studies have established that species diversity increases with higher taxa numbers from the polar to the tropics.

PANTHER: Making genome‐scale phylogenetics accessible to all
Phylogenetics is a powerful tool for analyzing protein sequences, by inferring their evolutionary relationships to other proteins. However, phylogenetics analyses can be challenging: they are computationally expensive and must be performed carefully in ...

The first record of Trichocera (Saltrichocera) annulata (Diptera: Trichoceridae) in Romania, with additional data on Trichocera (Saltrichocera) maculipennis [PDF]
The Romanian Trichoceridae fauna is poorly known. Trichocera (Saltrichocera) annulata Meigen, 1818 and Trichocera (Saltrichocera) maculipennis Meigen, 1818 are amongst the most widespread species in Europe, but the former species was not recorded from ...
