▪ Abstract As better phylogenetic hypotheses become available for many groups of
organisms, studies in community ecology can be informed by knowledge of the evolutionary …

Hosts and their symbionts are involved in intimate physiological and ecological interactions.
The impact of these interactions on the evolution of each partner depends on the time‐scale …

Exploration of the relationship between gene trees and their containing species trees leads
to consideration of how to reconstruct species trees from gene trees and of the concept of …

The fish faunas of continental South and Central America constitute one of the greatest
concentrations of aquatic diversity on Earth, consisting of about 10 percent of all living …

This book is both a manual for the computer program MacClade, describing its features and
potential uses, as well as a portrayal of a phylogenetic approach to studying diversity and …

The long-awaited revision of the industry standard on phylogenetics Since the publication of
the first edition of this landmark volume more than twenty-five years ago, phylogenetic …

We consider a continuous space which models the set of all phylogenetic trees having a
fixed set of leaves. This space has a natural metric of nonpositive curvature, giving a way of …

At a time when historical biogeography appears to be again expanding its scope after a
period of focusing primarily on discerning area relationships using cladograms, new …

Reconstruction of phylogenies from molecular data has become an important and
increasingly common approach in systematics. The product of such studies is a gene tree …

One of the strengths of the maximum likelihood method of phylogenetic estimation is the
ease with which hypotheses can be formulated and tested. Maximum likelihood analysis of …
