▪ Abstract As better phylogenetic hypotheses become available for many groups of
organisms, studies in community ecology can be informed by knowledge of the evolutionary …

Influenza A virus is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens that can cause severe
symptoms and has the potential to cause high number of deaths and great economic loss …

Phylogenetic studies of geographic range evolution are increasingly using statistical model
selection methods to choose among variants of the dispersal‐extinction‐cladogenesis …

Historical biogeography has a diversity of methods for inferring ancestral geographic ranges
on phylogenies, but many of the methods have conflicting assumptions, and there is no …

As a key factor in endemic and epidemic dynamics, the geographical distribution of viruses
has been frequently interpreted in the light of their genetic histories. Unfortunately, inference …

This book is both a manual for the computer program MacClade, describing its features and
potential uses, as well as a portrayal of a phylogenetic approach to studying diversity and …

Natural proteins are often only slightly more stable in the native state than the denatured
state, and an increase in environmental temperature can easily shift the balance toward …

The ability of plants to supply water to their leaves is intimately associated with survival.
Water supply to leaves depends on maintaining an intact water column in the xylem from the …

Phylogeographic methods aim to infer migration trends and the history of sampled lineages
from genetic data. Applications of phylogeography are broad, and in the context of …

This book aims to explain how to use R to perform morphometrics. Morpho-tric analysis is
the study of shape and size variations and covariations and their covariations with other …
