Evolutionary relationships are frequently described by phylogenetic trees, but a central
barrier in many fields is the difficulty of interpreting data containing conflicting phylogenetic …

The main limiting factor in Bayesian MCMC analysis of phylogeny is typically the efficiency
with which topology proposals sample tree space. Here we evaluate the performance of …

Ecologists and biogeographers usually rely on a single phylogenetic tree to study
evolutionary processes that affect macroecological patterns. This approach ignores the fact …

A fundamental challenge in resolving evolutionary relationships across the tree of life is to
account for heterogeneity in the evolutionary signal across loci. Studies of marsupial …

Aspergillus is one of the economically most important fungal genera. Recently, the ICN
adopted the single name nomenclature which has forced mycologists to choose one name …

Echinoids are key components of modern marine ecosystems. Despite a remarkable fossil
record, the emergence of their crown group is documented by few specimens of unclear …

Phylogenetic analyses often produce large numbers of trees. Mapping trees' distribution in
“tree space” can illuminate the behavior and performance of search strategies, reveal …

The interordinal relationships of Laurasiatherian mammals are currently one of the most
controversial questions in mammalian phylogenetics. Previous studies mainly relied on …

Fossils are the only remaining evidence of the majority of species that have ever existed,
providing a direct window into events in evolutionary history that shaped the diversification …

Traditionally, the visual analysis of hierarchies, respectively, trees, is conducted by focusing
on one given hierarchy. However, in many research areas multiple, differing hierarchies …
