Abstract Analysis of large data sets can help resolve difficult nodes in the tree of life and also
reveal complex evolutionary histories. The placement of the Celastrales–Oxalidales …

The Ulvophyceae, a major group of green algae, is of particular evolutionary interest
because of its remarkable morphological and ecological diversity. Its phylogenetic …

Phylogenetic relationships in recent, rapid radiations can be difficult to resolve due to
incomplete lineage sorting and reliance on genetic markers that evolve slowly relative to the …

Since the late eighteenth century, fossils of bizarre extinct creatures have been described
from the Americas, revealing a previously unimagined chapter in the history of mammals …

Simultaneously modeling hybridization and the multispecies coalescent is becoming
increasingly common, and inference of species networks in this context is now implemented …

Despite the rapid increase of size in phylogenomic data sets, a number of important nodes
on animal phylogeny are still unresolved. Among these, the rooting of the placental mammal …

Across large clades, two problems are generally encountered in the estimation of species-
level phylogenies:(a) the number of taxa involved is generally so high that computation …

The impact of incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) on phylogenetic conflicts among genes, and
the related issue of whether to account for ILS in species tree reconstruction, are matters of …

Abstract The Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis), a squirrel-like and rat-sized
mammal, has a wide distribution in Southeast Asia, South and Southwest China and has …

动物模型在生物医学领域(如回答人体各种重大生物学问题, 解析人类疾病机理和新药研发等
