Conceptual and empirical bridges between micro-and macroevolution
Explaining broad molecular, phenotypic and species biodiversity patterns necessitates a
unifying framework spanning multiple evolutionary scales. Here we argue that although …

Interpreting the genomic landscape of speciation: a road map for finding barriers to gene flow
Speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation among populations, is continuous,
complex, and involves multiple, interacting barriers. Until it is complete, the effects of this …

Global assessment of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus diversity reveals very low endemism
The global biogeography of microorganisms remains largely unknown, in contrast to the well-
studied diversity patterns of macroorganisms. We used arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus …

Historical variations in mutation rate in an epidemic pathogen, Yersinia pestis
Y Cui, C Yu, Y Yan, D Li, Y Li… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
The genetic diversity of Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of plague, is extremely limited
because of its recent origin coupled with a slow clock rate. Here we identified 2,326 SNPs …

Revisiting the insect mitochondrial molecular clock: the mid-Aegean trench calibration
Phylogenetic trees in insects are frequently dated by applying a “standard” mitochondrial
DNA (mtDNA) clock estimated at 2.3% My− 1, but despite its wide use reliable calibration …

Ebola virus epidemiology, transmission, and evolution during seven months in Sierra Leone
Summary The 2013–2015 Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic is caused by the Makona
variant of Ebola virus (EBOV). Early in the epidemic, genome sequencing provided insights …
