In lineages of allopolyploid origin, sets of homoeologous chromosomes may coexist that
differ in gene content and syntenic structure. Presence or absence of genes and …

Mountain systems harbor a substantial fraction of global biodiversity and, thus, provide
excellent opportunities to study rapid diversification and to understand the historical …

Key innovations are fundamental to biological diversification, but their genetic basis is poorly
understood. A recent transition from egg-laying to live-bearing in marine snails (Littorina …

Phylogenomic conflicts are widespread among genomic data, with most previous studies
primarily focusing on nuclear datasets instead of organellar genomes. In this study, we …

Population-genomic studies can shed new light on the effect of past demographic processes
on contemporary population structure. We reassessed phylogeographical patterns of a …

Abstract Background The East Asian subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests (EBLFs)
harbor remarkable biodiversity. However, their historical assembly remains unclear. To gain …

Abstract Background and Aims Hybridization has long been recognized as an important
process for plant evolution and is often accompanied by polyploidization, another prominent …

Hybridization events complicate the accurate reconstruction of phylogenies, as they lead to
patterns of genetic heritability that are unexpected under traditional, bifurcating models of …

The scale of data sets used to infer phylogenies has grown dramatically in the last decades,
providing researchers with an enormous amount of information with which to draw …

MSCquartets is an R package for species tree hypothesis testing, inference of species trees
and inference of species networks under the Multispecies Coalescent model of incomplete …
