Genome-scale data and the development of novel statistical phylogenetic approaches have
greatly aided the reconstruction of a broad sketch of the tree of life and resolved many of its …

The formation of the Isthmus of Panama stands as one of the greatest natural events of the
Cenozoic, driving profound biotic transformations on land and in the oceans. Some recent …

Elaboration of Bayesian phylogenetic inference methods has continued at pace in recent
years with major new advances in nearly all aspects of the joint modelling of evolutionary …

Since its introduction in 2001, MrBayes has grown in popularity as a software package for
Bayesian phylogenetic inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. With …

We present a new open source, extensible and flexible software platform for Bayesian
evolutionary analysis called BEAST 2. This software platform is a re-design of the popular …

Gene sequences sampled at different points in time can be used to infer molecular
phylogenies on a natural timescale of months or years, provided that the sequences in …

Although reconstruction of the phylogeny of living birds has progressed tremendously in the
last decade, the evolutionary history of Neoaves—a clade that encompasses nearly all living …

The Ebola virus disease epidemic in West Africa is the largest on record, responsible for
over 28,599 cases and more than 11,299 deaths. Genome sequencing in viral outbreaks is …

To better determine the history of modern birds, we performed a genome-scale phylogenetic
analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves using phylogenomic methods …

To investigate the evolutionary history of the recent outbreak of severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) in China, a total of 70 genomes of virus strains from …
