As the field of phylogenetics transitions into phylogenomics it has spurred a shift in the
general paradigm for data analysis whereby specific dataset attributes can now be …

The understanding that gene trees are often in discord with each other and with the species
trees that contain them has led researchers to methods that incorporate the inherent …

Species Delimitation is a plugin to the Geneious software to support the exploration of
species boundaries in a gene tree. The user assigns taxa to putative species and the plugin …

Discord among the gene trees of multilocus data has motivated the development of
phylogenetic approaches that account for gene-tree heterogeneity in the estimation …

The geography of speciation has long been contentious. In recent years, phylogenetic
approaches have been proposed to determine the geographical mode of speciation. If …

Inferring the geographic mode of speciation could help reveal the evolutionary and
ecological mechanisms that underlie the generation of biodiversity. Comparative methods …

As is true of virtually every realm of the biological sciences, our understanding of speciation
is increasingly informed by the genomic revolution of the past decade. Investigators can ask …

Concepts and definitions of species have been debated by generations of biologists and
remain controversial. Microbes pose a particular challenge because of their genetic …

As many data as possible must be included in any scientific analysis, provided that they
follow the logical principles on which this analysis is based. Phylogenetic analysis is based …

In order to better integrate molecular phylogenetics and taxonomy, genetic sequences from
type materials should be explicitly identified in publications using a consistent nomenclature …
