Phylogenies are important for addressing various biological questions such as relationships
among species or genes, the origin and spread of viral infection and the demographic …

Bayesian methods have become very popular in molecular phylogenetics due to the
availability of user-friendly software for running sophisticated models of evolution. However …

Nonparametric bootstrap has been a widely used tool in phylogenetic analysis to assess the
clade support of phylogenetic trees. However, with the rapidly growing amount of data, this …

What are the models used in phylogenetic analysis and what exactly is involved in Bayesian
evolutionary analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods? How can you …

Time-calibrated species phylogenies are critical for addressing a wide range of questions in
evolutionary biology, such as those that elucidate historical biogeography or uncover …

Phylogenetic inference and evaluating support for inferred relationships is at the core of
many studies testing evolutionary hypotheses. Despite the popularity of nonparametric …

Phylogenomics, the use of large-scale data matrices in phylogenetic analyses, has been
viewed as the ultimate solution to the problem of resolving difficult nodes in the tree of life …

Bayesian total-evidence dating involves the simultaneous analysis of morphological data
from the fossil record and morphological and sequence data from recent organisms, and it …

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 …

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