The history of long‐branch attraction, and in particular methods suggested to detect and
avoid the artifact to date, is reviewed. Methods suggested to avoid LBA‐artifacts include …

DNA data has been widely used in animal phylogenetic studies over the past 15 years. Here
we review how these studies have used advances in knowledge of molecular evolutionary …

Modern computer-intensive statistical methods play a key role in solving many problems
across a wide range of scientific disciplines. This new edition of the bestselling …

We assembled a dataset of 192 carefully selected species—51 extinct and 141 extant—and
976 apomorphies distributed among 610 phenotypic characters to investigate the phylogeny …

We revisit statistical tests for branches of evolutionary trees reconstructed upon molecular
data. A new, fast, approximate likelihood-ratio test (aLRT) for branches is presented here as …

Abstract Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling has become increasingly popular in
phylogenetics as a method for both estimating the maximum likelihood topology and for …

Species of Trichocomaceae occur commonly and are important to both industry and
medicine. They are associated with food spoilage and mycotoxin production and can occur …

Phylogenetic analysis of 330 plastid matK gene sequences, representing 235 genera from
37 of 39 tribes, and four outgroup taxa from eurosids I supports many well‐resolved …

What does the posterior probability of a phylogenetic tree mean? This simulation study
shows that Bayesian posterior probabilities have the meaning that is typically ascribed to …

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 …
