Deep learning is driving recent advances behind many everyday technologies, including
speech and image recognition, natural language processing and autonomous driving. It is …

Modern phylogenetic methods are increasingly being used to address questions about
macro-level patterns in cultural evolution. These methods can illuminate the unobservable …

Although currently most taxonomists claim to adhere to the concept of 'phylogenetic
taxonomy', in fact most of the zoological classifications currently published are only in part …

Genomics is narrowing uncertainty in the phylogenetic structure for many amniote groups.
For one of the most diverse and species-rich groups, the squamate reptiles (lizards, snakes …

Genomic data have had a profound impact on nearly every biological discipline. In
systematics and phylogenetics, the thousands of loci that are now being sequenced can be …

Simultaneously modeling hybridization and the multispecies coalescent is becoming
increasingly common, and inference of species networks in this context is now implemented …

Gene tree discordance is expected in phylogenomic trees and biological processes are
often invoked to explain it. However, heterogeneous levels of phylogenetic signal among …

Abstract Dusky Salamanders (genus Desmognathus) currently comprise only 22 described,
extant species. However, recent mitochondrial and nuclear estimates indicate the presence …

Understanding the factors that cause heterogeneity among gene trees can increase the
accuracy of species trees. Discordant signals across the genome are commonly produced …

Abstract Machine learning has increasingly been applied to a wide range of questions in
phylogenetic inference. Supervised machine learning approaches that rely on simulated …
