Extant timetrees are consistent with a myriad of diversification histories
S Louca, MW Pennell - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Time-calibrated phylogenies of extant species (referred to here as 'extant timetrees') are
widely used for estimating diversification dynamics. However, there has been considerable …

What Is Ne, Anyway?
RS Waples - Journal of Heredity, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Few doubt that effective population size (N e) is one of the most important parameters in
evolutionary biology, but how many can say they really understand the concept? N e is the …

On the importance of being structured: instantaneous coalescence rates and human evolution—lessons for ancestral population size inference?
Most species are structured and influenced by processes that either increased or reduced
gene flow between populations. However, most population genetic inference methods …

Discordance of species trees with their most likely gene trees
JH Degnan, NA Rosenberg - PLoS genetics, 2006 - journals.plos.org
Because of the stochastic way in which lineages sort during speciation, gene trees may
differ in topology from each other and from species trees. Surprisingly, assuming that genetic …

The confounding effect of population structure on Bayesian skyline plot inferences of demographic history
Many coalescent-based methods aiming to infer the demographic history of populations
assume a single, isolated and panmictic population (ie a Wright-Fisher model). While this …

Soft sweeps and beyond: understanding the patterns and probabilities of selection footprints under rapid adaptation
J Hermisson, PS Pennings - Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The tempo and mode of adaptive evolution determine how natural selection shapes patterns
of genetic diversity in DNA polymorphism data. While slow mutation‐limited adaptation …

[图书][B] Probability models for DNA sequence evolution
R Durrett, R Durrett - 2008 - Springer
Our basic question is: Given a collection of DNA sequences, what underlying forces are
responsible for the observed patterns of variability? To approach this question we introduce …
