Species tree estimation is a basic part of many biological research projects, ranging from
answering basic evolutionary questions (eg, how did a group of species adapt to their …

The multispecies coalescent (MSC) model has emerged as a powerful framework for
inferring species phylogenies while accounting for ancestral polymorphism and gene tree …

Elaboration of Bayesian phylogenetic inference methods has continued at pace in recent
years with major new advances in nearly all aspects of the joint modelling of evolutionary …

Species tree reconstruction is complicated by effects of incomplete lineage sorting,
commonly modeled by the multi-species coalescent model (MSC). While there has been …

The hundreds of cichlid fish species in Lake Malawi constitute the most extensive recent
vertebrate adaptive radiation. Here we characterize its genomic diversity by sequencing 134 …

Motivation: The estimation of species phylogenies requires multiple loci, since different loci
can have different trees due to incomplete lineage sorting, modeled by the multi-species …

Hypotheses about the origin of eukaryotic cells are classically framed within the context of a
universal 'tree of life'based on conserved core genes. Vigorous ongoing debate about …

Species tree inference is fundamental to our understanding of the evolution of life on earth.
However, species tree inference from molecular sequence data is complicated by gene …

Phylogenomics, the use of large-scale data matrices in phylogenetic analyses, has been
viewed as the ultimate solution to the problem of resolving difficult nodes in the tree of life …

The idea that all life on earth traces back to a common origin dates back at least to Charles
Darwin's Origin of Species. Ever since, biologists have tried to piece together parts of this …
