Reconstructing the tree of life remains a central goal in biology. Early methods, which relied
on small numbers of morphological or genetic characters, often yielded conflicting …

A phylogenetic tree can reflect the evolutionary relationships between species or gene
families, and they play a critical role in modern biological research. In this review, we …

Sex-limited polymorphism has evolved in many species including our own. Yet, we lack a
detailed understanding of the underlying genetic variation and evolutionary processes at …

Asian mock vipers of the genus Psammodynastes and African forest snakes of the genus
Buhoma are two genera belonging to the snake superfamily Elapoidea. The phylogenetic …

Modern taxonomic classification is often based on phylogenetic analyses of a few molecular
markers, although single-gene studies are still common. Here, we leverage genome-scale …

Bryophytes, a monophyletic group comprising three major lineages, diversified soon after
the terrestrialization of land plants. However, their internal phylogenetic relationships remain …

Shared genetic polymorphisms between populations and species can be ascribed to
ancestral variation or to more recent gene flow. Here, we mapped shared polymorphisms in …

The Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) provides a species to domain classification of
publicly available genomes based on average nucleotide identity (ANI)(for species) and a …

Abstract Background and Aims The California Floristic Province (CA-FP) is the most species-
rich region of North America north of Mexico. One of several proposed hypotheses …

Reconstructing evolutionary trajectories and transitions that have shaped floral diversity
relies heavily on the phylogenetic framework on which traits are modelled. In this study, we …
