We review recent models to estimate phylogenetic trees under the multispecies coalescent.
Although the distinction between gene trees and species trees has come to the fore of …

Aquatic non-indigenous species (NIS) threaten biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and the
economy worldwide. Monitoring NIS is of immediate concern to identify newly arriving …

Phylogeography is a discipline concerned with various relationships between gene
genealogies—phylogenetics—and geography. The word “phylogeography” was coined in …

In performing phenotypic characterization tests, the organisms used for the inoculation of
test media should be from fresh transfers and in good physiological condition. The methods …

Earthworm Ecology, Second Edition updates the most comprehensive work available on
earthworm ecology with extensive revisions of the original chapters. New chapters analyze …

The advent and maturation of algorithms for estimating species trees—phylogenetic trees
that allow gene tree heterogeneity and whose tips represent lineages, populations and …

Abstract Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling has become increasingly popular in
phylogenetics as a method for both estimating the maximum likelihood topology and for …

The success of 16 methods of phylogenetic inference was examined using consistency and
simulation analysis. Success—the frequency with which a tree-making method correctly …

Appropriate and extensive taxon sampling is one of the most important determinants of
accurate phylogenetic estimation. In addition, accuracy of inferences about evolutionary …

Cladistics aims to reconstruct genealogies based on common ancestry, thus revealing the
phylogenetic relationships between taxa. Its applications vary from linguistic analysis to the …
