Bayesian tests of topology hypotheses with an example from diving beetles
We review Bayesian approaches to model testing in general and to the assessment of
topological hypotheses in particular. We show that the standard way of setting up Bayes …

Revisiting the insect mitochondrial molecular clock: the mid-Aegean trench calibration
Phylogenetic trees in insects are frequently dated by applying a “standard” mitochondrial
DNA (mtDNA) clock estimated at 2.3% My− 1, but despite its wide use reliable calibration …

The effects of partitioning on phylogenetic inference
Partitioning is a commonly used method in phylogenetics that aims to accommodate
variation in substitution patterns among sites. Despite its popularity, there have been few …

Nucleotide substitution rates for the full set of mitochondrial protein-coding genes in Coleoptera
The ages of cladogenetic events in Coleoptera are frequently estimated with mitochondrial
protein-coding genes (MPCGs) and the “standard” mitochondrial nucleotide substitution rate …

Winding up the molecular clock in the genus Carabus(Coleoptera: Carabidae): assessment of methodological decisions on rate and node age estimation
Background Rates of molecular evolution are known to vary across taxa and among genes,
and this requires rate calibration for each specific dataset based on external information …

The age and phylogeny of wood boring weevils and the origin of subsociality
A large proportion of the hyperdiverse weevils are wood boring and many of these taxa have
subsocial family structures. The origin and relationship between certain wood boring weevil …

Searching for the optimal data partitioning strategy in mitochondrial phylogenomics: a phylogeny of Acridoidea (Insecta: Orthoptera: Caelifera) as a case study
JR Leavitt, KD Hiatt, MF Whiting, H Song - Molecular phylogenetics and …, 2013 - Elsevier
One of the main challenges in analyzing multi-locus phylogenomic data is to find an optimal
data partitioning strategy to account for variable evolutionary histories of different loci for any …
