Robust information from phylogenetic trees? [PDF]

Nature Precedings, 2010
AbstractTraditional 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. I then discuss a new class of models to capture the transition process between evolutionary regimes.

Phylodynamic analysis of porcine circovirus type 2: Methodological approach and datasets [PDF]

Data in Brief, 2016
Since its first description, PCV2 has emerged as one of the most economically relevant diseases for the swine industry. Despite the introduction of vaccines effective in controlling clinical syndromes, PCV2 spread was not prevented and some potential ...

CoCl2‐triggered pseudohypoxic stress induces proteasomal degradation of SIRT4 via polyubiquitination of lysines K78 and K299

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 2187-2199, December 2023., 2023
Stress‐induced degradation of SIRT4 is regulated by and dependent on its subcellular localization, i.e., ubiquitin‐proteasome mediated degradation of extra‐mitochondrial/cytoplasmatic SIRT4, and macro‐autophagy/mitophagy of mitochondrially localized SIRT4. Both degradation systems may regulate cytoplasmatic vs.

Tracking succession by means of 3D scans of plant communities in a glacier forefield to infer assembly processes

Oikos, Volume 2023, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
In primary successions, assembling plant communities are key for ecosystem functioning and stability. Often, plant successions are described on a taxonomic, functional and/or phylogenetic level, where species' identities, traits or evolutionary histories are considered.

Phylogeography of Solomon Islands blossom bats reflects oceanic divides and Pleistocene connections

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 920-931, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Periodic lowering of sea levels and formation of land bridges can reshape phylogeographic patterns of insular biotas. Using archipelago‐wide sampling, we aimed to test if phylogeography of an old‐endemic bat lineage reflected Pleistocene land bridges. Location Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.

Spatial patterns and climatic drivers of phylogenetic structure for ferns along the longest elevational gradient in the world

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Many biodiversity hotspots are located in montane regions, thus, understanding the underlying mechanisms driving species assembly along elevational gradients is of major interest in ecology and biogeography. Here, we assess spatial patterns and climatic drivers, and the effects of clade age, on patterns of phylogenetic structure of ferns along the ...

Leishmania donovani persistence and circulation causing cutaneous leishmaniasis in unusual-foci of Nepal

Scientific Reports, 2023
Cutaneous leishmaniasis cases have increased dramatically in recent years in Nepal. The study offers molecular identification of the Leishmania species using 40 patient’s aspiration biopsy samples, targeting markers kinetoplast minicircle DNA (kDNA) and ...

Drivers of plant diversity, community composition, functional traits, and soil processes along an alpine gradient in the central Chilean Andes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We tested the hypothesis that plant–soil feedbacks along a climatic and elevation gradient influence plant community assembly through shifts in habitat suitability, which drive plant functional, phylogenetic, and spectral diversity in a high mountain system (2400–3500 m) of Región Metropolitana in the Chilean Andes (33°S, 70°W).

Towards the phylogenetic placement of the enigmatic African genus Prolabeops Schultz, 1941

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 1333-1342, November 2022., 2022
Abstract The small cyprinid genus Prolabeops Schultz, 1941 is restricted to the Nyong and Sanaga River systems in Cameroon. In the past, the genus had been suggested to be either a member of the Labeoninae, Torinae or the Smiliogastrinae mainly on the basis of morphological similarities, and it is nowadays considered as incertae sedis within the ...
