Diversity of feeding mechanisms is a hallmark of reef fishes, but the history of this variation is
not fully understood. Here, we explore the emergence and proliferation of a biting mode of …

Abstract Background and Aims The geographical origin and evolutionary mechanisms
underpinning the rich and distinctive New Caledonian flora remain poorly understood. This …

The biodiversity of tropical reefs is typified by the interaction between fishes and corals.
Despite the importance of this ecological association, coevolutionary patterns between …

Bioluminescence is a widespread phenomenon that has evolved multiple times across the
tree of life, converging among diverse fauna and habitat types. The ubiquity of …

Migration independently evolved numerous times in animals, with a myriad of ecological
and evolutionary implications. In fishes, perhaps the most extreme form of migration is …

Bayesian coalescent skyline plot models are widely used to infer demographic histories. The
first (non-Bayesian) coalescent skyline plot model assumed a known genealogy as data …

Abstract Premise Astragalus (Fabaceae), with more than 3000 species, represents a
globally successful radiation of morphologically highly similar species predominant across …

The phylogenetic interpretation of pollen morphology is limited by our inability to recognize
the evolutionary history embedded in pollen features. Deep learning offers tools for …

Evolutionary shifts in chromosome compositions (karyotypes) are major drivers of lineage
and genomic diversification. Fusion of ancestral chromosomes is one hypothesized …

Phylodynamic models generally aim at jointly inferring phylogenetic relationships, model
parameters, and more recently, the number of lineages through time, based on molecular …
