A review of long‐branch attraction

J Bergsten - Cladistics, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The history of long‐branch attraction, and in particular methods suggested to detect and
avoid the artifact to date, is reviewed. Methods suggested to avoid LBA‐artifacts include …

Incorporating molecular evolution into phylogenetic analysis, and a new compilation of conserved polymerase chain reaction primers for animal mitochondrial DNA

C Simon, TR Buckley, F Frati, JB Stewart… - Annu. Rev. Ecol …, 2006 - annualreviews.org

Approximate likelihood-ratio test for branches: a fast, accurate, and powerful alternative

M Anisimova, O Gascuel - Systematic biology, 2006 - academic.oup.com
We revisit statistical tests for branches of evolutionary trees reconstructed upon molecular
data. A new, fast, approximate likelihood-ratio test (aLRT) for branches is presented here as …

A maximum pseudo-likelihood approach for estimating species trees under the coalescent model

L Liu, L Yu, SV Edwards - BMC evolutionary biology, 2010 - Springer
Background Several phylogenetic approaches have been developed to estimate species
trees from collections of gene trees. However, maximum likelihood approaches for …

Inconsistency of phylogenetic estimates from concatenated data under coalescence

LS Kubatko, JH Degnan - Systematic biology, 2007 - academic.oup.com
Although multiple gene sequences are becoming increasingly available for molecular
phylogenetic inference, the analysis of such data has largely relied on inference methods …

Frequentist properties of Bayesian posterior probabilities of phylogenetic trees under simple and complex substitution models

JP Huelsenbeck, B Rannala - Systematic biology, 2004 - academic.oup.com
What does the posterior probability of a phylogenetic tree mean? This simulation study
shows that Bayesian posterior probabilities have the meaning that is typically ascribed to …

An extreme case of plant–insect codiversification: figs and fig-pollinating wasps

A Cruaud, N Rønsted, B Chantarasuwan… - Systematic …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
It is thought that speciation in phytophagous insects is often due to colonization of novel host
plants, because radiations of plant and insect lineages are typically asynchronous. Recent …
