The performance of coalescent-based species tree estimation methods under models of missing data
Background Estimation of species trees from multiple genes is complicated by processes such as incomplete lineage sorting, gene duplication and loss, and horizontal gene transfer, that result in gene trees that differ from each other and from the species

Sorting Phenomena in a Mathematical Model For Two Mutually Attracting/Repelling Species [PDF]
Macroscopic models for systems involving diffusion, short-range repulsion, and long-range attraction have been studied extensively in the last decades. In this paper we extend the analysis to a system for two species interacting with each other according to different inner- and intra-species attractions.

Flow sorting in aquatic ecology
Flow sorting can be a very helpful tool in revealing phytoplankton and bacterial community structure and elaborating specific physiological parameters of isolated species. Droplet sorting has been the most common technique.

Fusarium species infect maize crops leading to the production of fumonisin by their toxigenic members. Elimination of microbes is critical in mitigating further postharvest spoilage and toxin accumulation. The current study investigates the efficacy of a

After the games are over: life-history trade-offs drive dispersal attenuation following range expansion. [PDF]
Increased dispersal propensity often evolves on expanding range edges due to the Olympic Village effect, which involves the fastest and fittest finding themselves together in the same place at the same time, mating, and giving rise to like individuals ...

The correspondence between species distribution and the environment depends on species' ability to track favorable environmental conditions (via dispersal) and to maintain competitive hierarchy against the constant influx of migrants (mass effect) and ...

An analytical comparison of coalescent-based multilocus methods: The three-taxon case [PDF]
Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) is a common source of gene tree incongruence in multilocus analyses. A large number of methods have been developed to infer species trees in the presence of ILS.

Bud protection: a key trait for species sorting in a forest–savanna mosaic [PDF]
Summary Contrasting fire regimes maintain patch mosaics of savanna, thicket and forest biomes in many African subtropical landscapes. Species dominating each biome are thus expected to display distinct fire‐related traits, commonly thought to be bark related.

The phylogenetic relationship of the now fully sequenced species Drosophila erecta and D. yakuba with respect to the D. melanogaster species complex has been a subject of controversy.
