Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas,
ecosystems, ecological communities, and species, with less attention on genetic diversity …

The past decade has seen a major breakthrough in our ability to easily and inexpensively
sequence genome‐scale data from diverse lineages. The development of high‐throughput …

Elaboration of Bayesian phylogenetic inference methods has continued at pace in recent
years with major new advances in nearly all aspects of the joint modelling of evolutionary …

The multispecies coalescent provides a natural framework for accommodating ancestral
genetic polymorphism and coalescent processes that can cause different genomic regions …

Abstract Background Reconstructing phylogenies through Bayesian methods has many
benefits, which include providing a mathematically sound framework, providing realistic …

Fully Bayesian multispecies coalescent (MSC) methods like* BEAST estimate species trees
from multiple sequence alignments. Today thousands of genes can be sequenced for a …

Algorithms for machine learning have found extensive use in numerous fields and
applications. One important aspect of effectively utilizing these algorithms is tuning the …

Colonization, speciation and extinction are dynamic processes that influence global patterns
of species richness,,,,–. Island biogeography theory predicts that the contribution of these …

Genome-wide phylogeny reconstruction is becoming increasingly common, and one driving
factor behind these phylogenomic studies is the promise that the potential discordance …

Most new cryptic species are described using conventional tree‐and distance‐based
species delimitation methods (SDMs), which rely on phylogenetic arrangements and …
