The advent and maturation of algorithms for estimating species trees—phylogenetic trees
that allow gene tree heterogeneity and whose tips represent lineages, populations and …

Discord among the gene trees of multilocus data has motivated the development of
phylogenetic approaches that account for gene-tree heterogeneity in the estimation …

▪ Abstract The number, size, and scope of phylogenetic analyses using molecular data has
increased steadily in recent years. This has simultaneously led to a dramatic improvement in …

▪ Abstract The proliferation of molecular data in systematics has opened a Pandora's box of
alternate approaches to inferring hierarchical patterns of relationship among taxa. In this …

The understanding that gene trees are often in discord with each other and with the species
trees that contain them has led researchers to methods that incorporate the inherent …

The heterogeneity of signals in the genomes of diverse organisms poses challenges for
traditional phylogenetic analysis. Phylogenetic methods known as “species tree” methods …

Recent computational and modeling advances have produced methods for estimating
species trees directly, avoiding the problems and limitations of the traditional phylogenetic …

An intricate relation exists between gene trees and species phylogenies, due to evolutionary
processes that act on the genes within and across the branches of the species phylogeny …

Appropriate and extensive taxon sampling is one of the most important determinants of
accurate phylogenetic estimation. In addition, accuracy of inferences about evolutionary …

Systematists and population geneticists can both use molecular data sets to construct
evolutionary trees (species and gene trees, respectively), and then use the resulting …
