[HTML][HTML] Impact of evolutionary relatedness on species diversification and tree shape

T Qin, L Valente, RS Etienne - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2025 - Elsevier
Slowdowns in lineage accumulation are often observed in phylogenies of extant species.
One explanation is the presence of ecological limits to diversity and hence to diversification …

PhyloCNN: Improving tree representation and neural network architecture for deep learning from trees in phylodynamics and diversification studies

MF Perez, O Gascuel - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Phylodynamics and diversification studies using complex evolutionary models can be
challenging, especially with traditional likelihood-based approaches. As an alternative …

A theoretical framework linking the birth-death and protracted birth-death models, with implications for the phylogenetic analysis of diversification

P Veron, J Andréoletti, T Giraud, H Morlon - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Standard birth-death processes used in macroevolutionary studies assume instantaneous
speciation, an unrealistic premise that limits the interpretation of speciation and extinction …

Designing minimal E. coli genomes using variational autoencoders

CP Barnes, D Buchan, A Shcherbakova - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Designing minimal bacterial genomes remains a key challenge in synthetic biology. There is
currently a lack of efficient tools for the rapid generation of streamlined bacterial genomes …

[PDF][PDF] Speciation completion rates have limited impact

P Veron, J Andréoletti, T Giraud, H Morlon - 2024 - researchgate.net
Birth-death models are widely used to understand the diversification of species groups; 30 in
this context, births represent speciation events, ie the emergence of two daughter 31 species …

Impact of Evolutionary Relatedness on Species Diversification: A New Birth-Death Model

T Qin, L Valente, RS Etienne - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Slowdowns in lineage accumulation are often observed in phylogenies of extant species.
One explanation for this is the presence of ecological limits to diversity and hence to …

Speciation completion rates have limited impact on macroevolutionary diversification

P Veron, J Andréoletti, T Giraud, H Morlon - 2024 - hal.science
While speciation takes time, standard birth-death processes used to infer diversification from
phylogenies assume that it is instantaneous. This limits the interpretation of phylogenetic …
