[HTML][HTML] The global spread of hepatitis C virus 1a and 1b: a phylodynamic and phylogeographic analysis
Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is estimated to affect 130–180 million people
worldwide. Although its origin is unknown, patterns of viral diversity suggest that HCV …

Joint Bayesian estimation of alignment and phylogeny
BD Redelings, MA Suchard - Systematic biology, 2005 - academic.oup.com
We describe a novel model and algorithm for simultaneously estimating multiple molecular
sequence alignments and the phylogenetic trees that relate the sequences. Unlike current …

Spatial and temporal patterns of diversification on the Amazon: A test of the riverine hypothesis for all diurnal primates of Rio Negro and Rio Branco in Brazil
The role of Amazonian rivers as drivers of speciation through vicariance remains
controversial. Here we explore the riverine hypothesis by comparing spatial and temporal …

Choosing among partition models in Bayesian phylogenetics
Bayesian phylogenetic analyses often depend on Bayes factors (BFs) to determine the
optimal way to partition the data. The marginal likelihoods used to compute BFs, in turn, are …

Ancient DNA analyses exclude humans as the driving force behind late Pleistocene musk ox (Ovibos moschatus) population dynamics
PF Campos, E Willerslev, A Sher… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
The causes of the late Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions are poorly understood. Different
lines of evidence point to climate change, the arrival of humans, or a combination of these …
