Quartet sampling distinguishes lack of support from conflicting support in the green plant tree of life
Premise of the Study Phylogenetic support has been difficult to evaluate within the green
plant tree of life partly due to a lack of specificity between conflicted versus poorly informed …

Phylogenetic analysis as a forensic tool in HIV transmission investigations
Because HIV is a fast-evolving virus, HIV genomic sequences of several individuals can be
used to investigate whether they belong to a transmission network. Since the infamous …

Cryptic speciation yields remarkable mimics: A new genus of sea slugs that masquerade as toxic algae (Caulerpa spp.)
Abstract “Cryptic” can refer to species that match their background through camouflage or
disruptive colouration, or in taxonomy to externally similar but unrecognized congeners. In …
