Success of Phylogenetic Methods in the Four-Taxon Case
The success of 16 methods of phylogenetic inference was examined using consistency and simulation analysis. Success—the frequency with which a tree-making method correctly ident...
CALIBRATING DIVERGENCE TIMES ON SPECIES TREES VERSUS GENE TREES: IMPLICATIONS FOR SPECIATION HISTORY OF APHELOCOMA JAYS
Estimates of the timing of divergence are central to testing the underlying causes of speciation. Relaxed molecular clocks and fossil calibration have improved these estimates; ...
Bayesian Inference of Species Trees from Multilocus Data
Until recently, it has been common practice for a phylogenetic analysis to use a single gene sequence from a single individual organism as a proxy for an entire species. With te...
A Bayesian Phylogenetic Method to Estimate Unknown Sequence Ages
Heterochronous data sets comprise molecular sequences sampled at different points in time. If the temporal range of the sampled sequences is large relative to the rate of mutati...
