The sizes of the data matrices assembled to resolve branches of the tree of life have
increased dramatically, motivating the development of programs for fast, yet accurate …

Phylogenies are increasingly prominent across all of biology, especially as DNA sequencing
makes more and more trees available. However, their utility is compromised by widespread …

With advances in sequencing technologies, there are now massive amounts of genomic
data from across all life, leading to the possibility that a robust Tree of Life can be …

The desire to infer the evolutionary history of a group of species should be more viable now
that a considerable amount of multilocus molecular data is available. However, the current …

The concatenation method has been widely used as a means of combining data to estimate
phylogenetic trees (Huelsenbeck et al. 1996a, 1996b; Glazko and Nei 2003). However …

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

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 …

Until recently, it was believed that complex phylogenies might be extremely difficult to
reconstruct due to the phenomenal rate of increase in the number of possible phylogenies …

DupTree is a new software program for inferring rooted species trees from collections of
gene trees using the gene tree parsimony approach. The program implements a novel …

Species delimitation and species tree inference are difficult problems in cases of recent
divergence, especially when different loci have different histories. This paper quantifies the …
