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 …

Biodiversity loss from disturbances caused by human activities means that species are
disappearing at an ever increasing rate. The high number of species that have yet to be …

Species tree reconstruction is complicated by effects of incomplete lineage sorting,
commonly modeled by the multi-species coalescent model (MSC). While there has been …

Motivation: Species trees provide insight into basic biology, including the mechanisms of
evolution and how it modifies biomolecular function and structure, biodiversity and co …

PhyloNetworks is a Julia package for the inference, manipulation, visualization, and use of
phylogenetic networks in an interactive environment. Inference of phylogenetic networks is …

Hybridization has long been recognized as a fundamental evolutionary process in plants
but, until recently, our understanding of its phylogenetic distribution and biological …

Phylogenetic networks are necessary to represent the tree of life expanded by edges to
represent events such as horizontal gene transfers, hybridizations or gene flow. Not all …

Background The use of transcriptomic and genomic datasets for phylogenetic reconstruction
has become increasingly common as researchers attempt to resolve recalcitrant nodes with …

Phylogenetic inference from genome-wide data (phylogenomics) has revolutionized the
study of evolution because it enables accounting for discordance among evolutionary …

Phylogenetic relationships among recently diverged species are often difficult to resolve due
to insufficient phylogenetic signal in available markers and/or conflict among gene trees …
