Model selection in ecology and evolution
JB Johnson, KS Omland - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2004 - cell.com
Recently, researchers in several areas of ecology and evolution have begun to change the
way in which they analyze data and make biological inferences. Rather than the traditional …

Bayesian inference of phylogeny and its impact on evolutionary biology
As a discipline, phylogenetics is becoming transformed by a flood of molecular data. These
data allow broad questions to be asked about the history of life, but also present difficult …

Model selection and model averaging in phylogenetics: advantages of Akaike information criterion and Bayesian approaches over likelihood ratio tests
D Posada, TR Buckley - Systematic biology, 2004 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Model selection is a topic of special relevance in molecular phylogenetics that
affects many, if not all, stages of phylogenetic inference. Here we discuss some fundamental …

Approximate likelihood-ratio test for branches: a fast, accurate, and powerful alternative
M Anisimova, O Gascuel - Systematic biology, 2006 - academic.oup.com
We revisit statistical tests for branches of evolutionary trees reconstructed upon molecular
data. A new, fast, approximate likelihood-ratio test (aLRT) for branches is presented here as …

Southern hemisphere biogeography inferred by event-based models: plant versus animal patterns
I Sanmartíin, F Ronquist - Systematic biology, 2004 - JSTOR
The Southern Hemisphere has traditionally been considered as having a fundamentally
vicariant history. The common trans-Pacific disjunctions are usually explained by the …

Assembling the fungal tree of life: progress, classification, and evolution of subcellular traits
Based on an overview of progress in molecular systematics of the true fungi
(Fungi/Eumycota) since 1990, little overlap was found among single‐locus data matrices …

Incorporating molecular evolution into phylogenetic analysis, and a new compilation of conserved polymerase chain reaction primers for animal mitochondrial DNA
DNA data has been widely used in animal phylogenetic studies over the past 15 years. Here
we review how these studies have used advances in knowledge of molecular evolutionary …

Phylogenetic relationships of the dwarf boas and a comparison of Bayesian and bootstrap measures of phylogenetic support
Four New World genera of dwarf boas (Exiliboa, Trachyboa, Tropidophis, and Ungaliophis)
have been placed by many systematists in a single group (traditionally called …

Contribution of RPB2 to multilocus phylogenetic studies of the euascomycetes (Pezizomycotina, Fungi) with special emphasis on the lichen-forming Acarosporaceae …
V Reeb, F Lutzoni, C Roux - Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2004 - Elsevier
Despite the recent progress in molecular phylogenetics, many of the deepest relationships
among the main lineages of the largest fungal phylum, Ascomycota, remain unresolved. To …
