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 is then …

There are two levels of potential error in the inference of species phylogenies from
molecular sequence data:(1) A gene tree (herein, we use the term gene for any con? tiguous …

Although multiple gene sequences are becoming increasingly available for molecular
phylogenetic inference, the analysis of such data has largely relied on inference methods …

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

An intricate relation exists between gene trees and species phylogenies, due to evolutionary
processes that act on the genes within and across the branches of the species phylogeny …

Fitting the gene lineage into its species lineage, a parsimony strategy illustrated by
cladograms constructed from globin sequences. Syst. Zool. 28: 132–163.—The gene …

This article reviews the various models that have been used to describe the relationships
between gene trees and species trees. Molecular phylogeny has focused mainly on …

Several techniques, such as concatenation and consensus methods, are available for
combining data from multiple loci to produce a single statement of phylogenetic …

Evolutionary processes shape the regular trends of evolution and are responsible for the
diversity and distribution of contemporary species. They include correlated evolutionary …

A major issue in all data collection for molecular phylogenetics is taxon sampling, which
refers to the use of data from only a small representative set of species for inferring higher …
