Phylogenetics–the discipline of inferring the evolutionary history of organisms–has become central to the study of biology and its related fields. In light of the myriad applications of phylogenetics, ranging from understanding the evolution of complex structures and functions such as powered flight to illuminating disease transmission dynamics, it becomes crucial to ensure the robustness and accuracy of phylogenetic inference. However, except in very limited experimental circumstances, we are unable to directly observe the evolutionary history of organisms of interest. As a result, congruence and consilience across independent sources of data becomes an important barometer of phylogenetic accuracy (built upon the axiom that there is only one history of life, which arises naturally from the theory of evolution).
