TCS: a computer program to estimate gene genealogies
Phylogenies are extremely useful tools, not only for establishing genealogical relationships among a group of organisms or their parts (e.g. genes), but also for a variety of re...
Inferring species phylogenies from multiple genes: Concatenated sequence tree versus consensus gene tree
Abstract Phylogenetic trees from multiple genes can be obtained in two fundamentally different ways. In one, gene sequences are concatenated into a super‐gene alignment, which i...
Testing Substitution Models Within a Phylogenetic Tree
Phylogenetic tree reconstruction frequently assumes the homogeneity of the substitution process over the whole tree. To test this assumption statistically, we propose a test bas...
Macroevolutionary Dynamics and Historical Biogeography of Primate Diversification Inferred from a Species Supermatrix
Phylogenetic relationships, divergence times, and patterns of biogeographic descent among primate species are both complex and contentious. Here, we generate a robust molecular ...
Phylogenetic information and experimental design in molecular systematics
Despite the widespread perception that evolutionary inference from molecular sequences is a statistical problem, there has been very little attention paid to questions of experi...
