Selecting the Best-Fit Model of Nucleotide Substitution
Despite the relevant role of models of nucleotide substitution in phylogenetics, choosing among different models remains a problem. Several statistical methods for selecting the...

Managerial Dilemmas
In organisation theory a schism has developed between the traditional organisational behaviour literature, based in psychology, sociology and political science, and the more ana...
<scp>gimlet</scp>: a computer program for analysing genetic individual identification data
Abstract Growing interest in microsatellite genotyping, combined with noninvasive genetic sampling has led to the increased production of data. New tools to analyse these data a...
Bayesian inference of population size history from multiple loci
The results demonstrate the essential role of multiple loci in recovering population size dynamics. Multi-locus data from a small number of individuals can precisely recover pas...

Precision photometry of early-type galaxies in the Coma and Virgo clusters: a test of the universality of the colour-magnitude relation - II. Analysis
We have undertaken a detailed comparison of the colours of early-type galaxies in the Virgo and Coma clusters. In Paper I (this issue), we presented our system of homogeneous U,...
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...
BEAGLE: An Application Programming Interface and High-Performance Computing Library for Statistical Phylogenetics
Phylogenetic inference is fundamental to our understanding of most aspects of the origin and evolution of life, and in recent years, there has been a concentration of interest i...
Phylogeography Takes a Relaxed Random Walk in Continuous Space and Time
Research aimed at understanding the geographic context of evolutionary histories is burgeoning across biological disciplines. Recent endeavors attempt to interpret contemporaneo...
Age-Dependent Neurofibrillary Tangle Formation, Neuron Loss, and Memory Impairment in a Mouse Model of Human Tauopathy (P301L)
Here, we describe the generation of a novel transgenic mouse model of human tauopathy. The rTg(tau P301L )4510 mouse expresses the P301L mutation in tau (4R0N) associated with f...
