Here, we present a major advance of the OrthoFinder method. This extends OrthoFinder's
high accuracy orthogroup inference to provide phylogenetic inference of orthologs, rooted …

Abstract Background The Environment Ontology (ENVO; http://www. environmentontology.
org/), first described in 2013, is a resource and research target for the semantically …

The largest animals are marine filter feeders, but the underlying mechanism of their large
size remains unexplained. We measured feeding performance and prey quality to …

The Myxozoa comprise over 2,000 species of microscopic obligate parasites that use both
invertebrate and vertebrate hosts as part of their life cycle. Although the evolutionary origin …

Understanding the history and philosophy of biological systematics (phylogenetics,
taxonomy and classification of living things) is key to successful practice of the discipline. In …

The Brazilian Caatinga is considered the richest nucleus of the Seasonally Dry Tropical
Forests (SDTF) in the Neotropics, also exhibiting high levels of endemism, but the timing of …

The family Psathyrellaceae was analysed using phylogenetic and morphological characters.
A total of 18,133 sequences (ITS, 5.8 S, LSU, ef-1α, β-tubulin), with 45 newly generated …

Phylogenetic inferences under the maximum likelihood criterion deploy heuristic tree search
strategies to explore the vast search space. Depending on the input dataset, searches from …

ABSTRACT Building the Tree of Life (ToL) is a major challenge of modern biology, requiring
advances in cyberinfrastructure, data collection, theory, and more. Here, we argue that …

Estimating the statistical robustness of the inferred tree (s) constitutes an integral part of most
phylogenetic analyses. Commonly, one computes and assigns a branch support value to …
