In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species - the "family tree" of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of organisms ...

Biologists will be able to reconstruct the process of evolution, determine relationships between species and build phylogenetic trees with greater accuracy thanks to a new method for identifying ...

Just as bird watchers may use binoculars to add to their species lists, scientists interested in bird evolution may use computational tools to clarify avian lineages. Indeed, such tools have enabled ...

A new computational tool improves the analysis of genetic data, making it easier and faster to study the evolutionary relationships between species. A new computational tool improves the analysis of ...

Phylogenetics and conservation biology : drawing a path into the diversity of life / Roseli Pellens and Philippe Grandcolas -- Questions. The value of phylogenetic diversity / Christopher Lean and ...

Artificial intelligence is now better than humans at identifying many patterns, but evolutionary relationships have always ...

Introgressive hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting complicate the inference of phylogeny, and available species-tree methods do not simultaneously account for these processes. Both ...

Evolution, Vol. 72, No. 5 (MAY 2018), pp. 1050-1062 (13 pages) Variation in rates of molecular evolution (heterotachy) is a common phenomenon among plants. Although multiple theoretical models have ...
