A simple method for data partitioning based on relative evolutionary rates [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Multiple studies have demonstrated that partitioning of molecular datasets is important in model-based phylogenetic analyses. Commonly, partitioning is done a priori based on some known properties of sequence evolution, e.g.

How Do Moth Clicks Decrease the Capture Success of Horseshoe Bats?

Diversity, 2023
Moths are among the most diverse and abundant animals. They have evolved a suite of acoustic defenses, such as producing ultrasound to guard against predation by low-duty-cycle bats.

Optimal predator risk assessment by the sonar-jamming arctiine moth Bertholdia trigona. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Nearly all animals face a tradeoff between seeking food and mates and avoiding predation. Optimal escape theory holds that an animal confronted with a predator should only flee when benefits of flight (increased survival) outweigh the costs (energetic ...
