Species integrity in trees [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2014 From California sequoia, to Australian eucalyptus, to the outstanding diversity of Amazonian forests, trees are fundamental to many processes in ecology and evolution. Trees define the communities that they inhabit, are host to a multiplicity of other organisms and can determine the ecological dynamics of other plants and animals. Trees are also at the

Estimating Species Trees from Unrooted Gene Trees [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2011 In this study, we develop a distance method for inferring unrooted species trees from a collection of unrooted gene trees. The species tree is estimated by the neighbor joining (NJ) tree built from a distance matrix in which the distance between two species is defined as the average number of internodes between two species across gene trees, that is ...

Gene trees and species trees: irreconcilable differences [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2012 Reconciliation is the classical method for inferring a duplication and loss history from a set of extant genes. It is based upon the notion of embedding the gene tree into the species tree, the incongruence between the two indicating evidence for duplication and loss.

ASTRAL-III: polynomial time species tree reconstruction from partially resolved gene trees
BMC Bioinformatics, 2018 Evolutionary histories can be discordant across the genome, and such discordances need to be considered in reconstructing the species phylogeny. ASTRAL is one of the leading methods for inferring species trees from gene trees while accounting for gene ...

Axiomatic opportunities and obstacles for inferring a species tree from gene trees [PDF]
, 2014 The reconstruction of a central tendency `species tree' from a large number of conflicting gene trees is a central problem in systematic biology. Moreover, it becomes particularly problematic when taxon coverage is patchy, so that not all taxa are ...

Estimating coextinction risks from epidemic tree death [PDF]
, 2012 At least 10% of the world's tree species are threatened with extinction and pathogens are increasingly implicated in tree threats. Coextinction and threats to affiliates as a consequence of the loss or decline of their host trees is a poorly understood ...

ASTRAL: genome-scale coalescent-based species tree estimation
Bioinform., 2014 Motivation: Species trees provide insight into basic biology, including the mechanisms of evolution and how it modifies biomolecular function and structure, biodiversity and co-evolution between genes and species.
