Is self‐fertilization an evolutionary dead end?
A compound hypothesis positing that self‐fertilization is an evolutionary dead end conflates
two distinct claims: the transition from outcrossing to selfing is unidirectional; and the …

Comparison of methods for molecular species delimitation across a range of speciation scenarios
Species are fundamental units in biological research and can be defined on the basis of
various operational criteria. There has been growing use of molecular approaches for …

The conditioned reconstructed process
T Gernhard - Journal of theoretical biology, 2008 - Elsevier
We investigate a neutral model for speciation and extinction, the constant rate birth–death
process. The process is conditioned to have n extant species today, we look at the tree …

Sampling-through-time in birth–death trees
T Stadler - Journal of theoretical biology, 2010 - Elsevier
I consider the constant rate birth–death process with incomplete sampling. I calculate the
density of a given tree with sampled extant and extinct individuals. This density is essential …

Recent synchronous radiation of a living fossil
Modern survivors of previously more diverse lineages are regarded as living fossils,
particularly when characterized by morphological stasis. Cycads are often cited as a classic …

Simulating trees with a fixed number of extant species
T Stadler - Systematic biology, 2011 - academic.oup.com
In this paper, I develop efficient tools to simulate trees with a fixed number of extant species.
The tools are provided in my open source R-package TreeSim available on CRAN. The new …
