Bayesian analysis has enjoyed explosive growth in phylogenetics over the past five years.
Accompanying this popularity has been increased focus on the meaning of the posterior …

With the continual progress of sequencing techniques, genome-scale data are increasingly
used in phylogenetic studies. With more data from throughout the genome, the relationship …

Phylogenetic trees of only extant species contain information about the underlying
speciation and extinction pattern. In this review, I provide an overview over the different …

Abstract Motivation The Robinson–Foulds (RF) metric is widely used by biologists, linguists
and chemists to quantify similarity between pairs of phylogenetic trees. The measure tallies …

Increasingly, studies of genes and genomes are indicating that considerable horizontal
transfer has occurred between prokaryotes. Extensive horizontal transfer has occurred for …

The cross-species transmission of viruses from one host species to another is responsible
for the majority of emerging infections. However, it is unclear whether some virus families …

Spiny-rayed fishes (Acanthomorpha) dominate modern marine habitats and account for
more than a quarter of all living vertebrate species. Previous time-calibrated phylogenies …

Background Although it has proven to be an important foundation for investigations of
carnivoran ecology, biology and evolution, the complete species-level supertree for …

I am very happy to have this opportunity to present the work of Boris Mirkin, a distinguished
Russian scholar in the areas of data analysis and decision making methodologies. The …

The problem of missing data is often considered to be the most important obstacle in
reconstructing the phylogeny of fossil taxa and in combining data from diverse characters …
