Robust information from phylogenetic trees? [PDF]
, 2010 Traditional information criteria approaches can lead to misleading model choice in comparative phylogenetics. I present both these weaknesses and a more robust comparison by likelihood ratio.

Phylogenetic comparative assembly [PDF]
Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2009 Recent high throughput sequencing technologies are capable of generating a huge amount of data for bacterial genome sequencing projects. Although current sequence assemblers successfully merge the overlapping reads, often several contigs remain which cannot be assembled any further.

Acta Mycologica, 2016 Hesperomyces virescens Thaxt. is a fungal parasite of coccinellid beetles. One of its hosts is the invasive harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Pallas). We present the first records of this combination from Poland.

Phylogenetic diversity and biodiversity indices on phylogenetic networks [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences, 2018 In biodiversity conservation it is often necessary to prioritize the species to conserve. Existing approaches to prioritization, e.g. the Fair Proportion Index and the Shapley Value, are based on phylogenetic trees and rank species according to their contribution to overall phylogenetic diversity.

Tangent Phylogenetic PCA [PDF]
, 2023 Phylogenetic PCA (p-PCA) is a version of PCA for observations that are leaf nodes of a phylogenetic tree. P-PCA accounts for the fact that such observations are not independent, due to shared evolutionary history. The method works on Euclidean data, but in evolutionary biology there is a need for applying it to data on manifolds, particularly shapes ...

Evolution of proteins and proteomes: a phylogenetics approach
Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2005 The study of evolutionary relationships among protein sequences was one of the first applications of bioinformatics. Since then, and accompanying the wealth of biological data produced by genome sequencing and other high-throughput techniques, the use of

Nature Communications, 2022 “Ulvophyceae is a remarkably morphologically and ecologically diverse clade of green algae. Here, the authors reconstruct the Ulvophyceae phylogeny, showing that these algae originated earlier than expected and may have influenced biogeochemical cycles ...

Relaxed Phylogenetics and Dating with Confidence
PLoS Biology, 2006 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

Coming to America: Multiple Origins of New World Geckos [PDF]
, 2011 Geckos in the Western Hemisphere provide an excellent model to study faunal assembly at a continental scale. We generated a time-calibrated phylogeny, including exemplars of all New World gecko genera, to produce a biogeographic scenario for the New ...
