Stress physiology in marine mammals: how well do they fit the terrestrial model?
Stressors are commonly accepted as the causal factors, either internal or external, that
evoke physiological responses to mediate the impact of the stressor. The majority of …

Phylogenomics resolves the timing and pattern of insect evolution
Insects are the most speciose group of animals, but the phylogenetic relationships of many
major lineages remain unresolved. We inferred the phylogeny of insects from 1478 protein …

[HTML][HTML] A maximum pseudo-likelihood approach for estimating species trees under the coalescent model
L Liu, L Yu, SV Edwards - BMC evolutionary biology, 2010 - Springer
Background Several phylogenetic approaches have been developed to estimate species
trees from collections of gene trees. However, maximum likelihood approaches for …

[HTML][HTML] 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 …

Primate phylogenetic relationships and divergence dates inferred from complete mitochondrial genomes
The origins and the divergence times of the most basal lineages within primates have been
difficult to resolve mainly due to the incomplete sampling of early fossil taxa. The main …

The influence of rate heterogeneity among sites on the time dependence of molecular rates
Molecular evolutionary rate estimates have been shown to depend on the time period over
which they are estimated. Factors such as demographic processes, calibration errors …
