Evolution and biogeography of gymnosperms
XQ Wang, JH Ran - Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2014 - Elsevier
Living gymnosperms comprise only a little more than 1000 species, but represent four of the
five main lineages of seed plants, including cycads, ginkgos, gnetophytes and conifers. This …

[HTML][HTML] Molecular systematics of terraranas (Anura: Brachycephaloidea) with an assessment of the effects of alignment and optimality criteria
Brachycephaloidea is a monophyletic group of frogs with more than 1000 species

Ancient DNA reveals elephant birds and kiwi are sister taxa and clarifies ratite bird evolution
The evolution of the ratite birds has been widely attributed to vicariant speciation, driven by
the Cretaceous breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana. The early isolation of Africa and …

Coalescent versus Concatenation Methods and the Placement of Amborella as Sister to Water Lilies
The molecular era has fundamentally reshaped our knowledge of the evolution and
diversification of angiosperms. One outstanding question is the phylogenetic placement of …

Analyses of evolutionary dynamics in viruses are hindered by a time-dependent bias in rate estimates
Time-scales of viral evolution and emergence have been studied widely, but are often poorly
understood. Molecular analyses of viral evolutionary time-scales generally rely on estimates …

Mitochondrial phylogenomics of early land plants: mitigating the effects of saturation, compositional heterogeneity, and codon-usage bias
Phylogenetic analyses using concatenation of genomic-scale data have been seen as the
panacea for resolving the incongruences among inferences from few or single genes …

BaCoCa–A heuristic software tool for the parallel assessment of sequence biases in hundreds of gene and taxon partitions
Abstract BaCoCa (BAse COmposition CAlculator) is a user-friendly software that combines
multiple statistical approaches (like RCFV and C value calculations) to identify biases in …

TreSpEx–-detection of misleading signal in phylogenetic reconstructions based on tree information
TH Struck - Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
Phylogenies of species or genes are commonplace nowadays in many areas of comparative
biological studies. However, for phylogenetic reconstructions one must refer to artificial …

Genomic support for a moa–tinamou clade and adaptive morphological convergence in flightless ratites
One of the most startling discoveries in avian molecular phylogenetics is that the volant
tinamous are embedded in the flightless ratites, but this topology remains controversial …
