Genome-scale data and the development of novel statistical phylogenetic approaches have
greatly aided the reconstruction of a broad sketch of the tree of life and resolved many of its …

The advances accelerated by next‐generation sequencing and long‐read sequencing
technologies continue to provide an impetus for plant phylogenetic study. In the past …

Recent publications have argued that there are potentially serious consequences for
researchers in recognising distinct genera in the terminal fusarioid clade of the family …

Microbial genomes are available at an ever-increasing pace, as cultivation and sequencing
become cheaper and obtaining metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) becomes more …

Background Flowering plants (angiosperms) are dominant components of global terrestrial
ecosystems, but phylogenetic relationships at the familial level and above remain only …

Highly divergent sites in multiple sequence alignments (MSAs), which can stem from
erroneous inference of homology and saturation of substitutions, are thought to negatively …

Premise of the Study Large phylogenies can help shed light on macroevolutionary patterns
that inform our understanding of fundamental processes that shape the tree of life. These …

We implement two measures for quantifying genealogical concordance in phylogenomic
data sets: the gene concordance factor (gCF) and the novel site concordance factor (sCF) …

Phylogenomic studies using genome-scale amounts of data have greatly improved
understanding of the tree of life. Despite the diversity, ecological significance, and …

Northern Hemisphere forests changed drastically in the early Eocene with the diversification
of the oak family (Fagaceae). Cooling climates over the next 20 million years fostered the …
