Intraspecific variation is abundant in all types of systematic characters but is rarely addressed in simulation studies of phylogenetic method performance. We compared the accuracy of 15 phylogenetic ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Computer simulations are useful because they can characterize the expected performance of phylogenetic methods under idealized conditions.

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 ...

EUGENE, Ore. - April 15, 2020 -- When species under a taxonomic umbrella have faced forks in the road, leading to extinction or adaptation, the path taken has been difficult to follow. In a newly ...
