Introduction: An introduction to the phylogenetic comparative method / Emmanuel Paradis ; Working with the tree of life in comparative studies : how to build and tailor phylogenies to interspecific ...

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 ...

Female giant water bugs lay their eggs on a male's back after mating and the male takes care of the eggs until the nymphs are hatched, a couple of weeks later. A study led by Dr. Tomoya Suzuki of ...

Phylogenetic analysis explores the evolutionary relationships between organisms and is a vital foundation for microbial studies. The development of reliable phylogenetic trees is an important step in ...

Oryza perennis Moench is distributed throughout the humid tropics, and its Asian form may be the progenitor of cultivated rice, O. sativa L. Data for 24 characters of 65 strains of this species were ...
