Biodiversity arks in the Anthropocene

open access: yesRegional Sustainability, 2021
The Anthropocene proposal suggested that the Earth may have entered a new geological epoch, in which human activity and climate change are influencing the environment at global scale.

Phylogenetic Insights on Patterns of HIV-1 Spread and the Design of Epidemic Control Measures

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Phylogenetics provides a unique structural framework to track the spread of viral diseases, such as HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus type 1), the causative agent of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) [...]

Survey of molecular phylogenetics

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2007
Rapidly increasing amount of biological data necessarily requires techniques that would enable to extract the information hidden in the data. Methods of molecular phylogenetics are commonly used tools as well as objects of continuous research within many

Tropical Principal Component Analysis and Its Application to Phylogenetics [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2017
Principal component analysis is a widely used method for the dimensionality reduction of a given data set in a high-dimensional Euclidean space. Here we define and analyze two analogues of principal component analysis in the setting of tropical geometry.

DNA barcodes reveal population-dependent cryptic diversity and various cases of sympatry of Korean leptonetid spiders (Araneae: Leptonetidae)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Leptonetidae are tiny, rarely encountered spiders that mainly inhabit moist environments, such as caves, leaf litter, and rock piles. Because they are microhabitat specialists, most leptonetid species have short-range endemism, and rarely occur in ...

Phylogenetics of seed plants : An analysis of nucleotide sequences from the plastid gene rbcL

open access: yes, 1993
We present the results of two exploratory parsimony analyses of DNA sequences from 475 and 499 species of seed plants, respectively, representing all major taxonomic groups.

Quartets enable statistically consistent estimation of cell lineage trees under an unbiased error and missingness model

open access: yesAlgorithms for Molecular Biology, 2023
Cancer progression and treatment can be informed by reconstructing its evolutionary history from tumor cells. Although many methods exist to estimate evolutionary trees (called phylogenies) from molecular sequences, traditional approaches assume the ...

Modeling the Ecology and Evolution of Biodiversity: Introduction to the Special Issue

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Applying relevant statistical models to empirical data analysis has been considered a very important procedure for scientists to answer research questions in the fields of biodiversity, phylogeography, evolutionary biology, paleoecology, phylogenetics ...

Enriching the ant tree of life: enhanced UCE bait set for genome‐scale phylogenetics of ants and other Hymenoptera

open access: yes, 2017
Targeted enrichment of conserved genomic regions (e.g. ultraconserved elements or UCEs) has emerged as a promising tool for inferring evolutionary history in many organismal groups.

Spatial phylogenetics of the native California flora

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2017
California is a world floristic biodiversity hotspot where the terms neo- and paleo-endemism were first applied. Using spatial phylogenetics, it is now possible to evaluate biodiversity from an evolutionary standpoint, including discovering significant ...
