Invasive Cactaceae cause considerable damage to ecosystem function and agricultural
practices around the world. The most successful biological control agents used to combat …

The problem of mining collections of trees to identify common patterns, called frequent
subtrees (FSTs), arises often when trying to interpret the results of phylogenetic analysis …

Abstract Ptilotus (Amaranthaceae) is an Australian genus with over 100 species, most of
which occur in arid Western Australia. Ptilotus has been a taxonomically difficult genus; …

Several species of the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium are associated with certain
plant types and genome analyses suggested a bifunctional lifestyle; as an insect pathogen …

Cophylogenetic analysis seeks to explain the relationships between mutually evolving pairs
of species such as hosts and parasites. In the last two decades, increasingly sophisticated …

To sustain epidemiological studies on coconut lethal yellowing disease (CLYD), a
devastating disease in Africa caused by a phytoplasma, we developed a multilocus …

A new phylogenetics approach and algorithm with which to chart the evolutionary history of
organisms is presented. It utilizes mass spectral data produced from the proteolytic digestion …

Evolutionary theory predicts that senescence—a decline in reproduction and survival with
increasing age—can evolve as a trade‐off between investment in reproduction on one side …

Alders (Alnus spp.) represent keystone species trees of riparian and mountainous habitats of
the northern hemisphere. Previous genetic studies have suggested a complex intrageneric …

Co‐divergence between host and parasites suggests that evolutionary processes act across
similar spatial and temporal scales. Although there has been considerable work on the …
