Phylogeny of Dictyoptera: dating the origin of cockroaches, praying mantises and termites with molecular data and controlled fossil evidence
Understanding the origin and diversification of organisms requires a good phylogenetic
estimate of their age and diversification rates. This estimate can be difficult to obtain when …

Parametric and non-parametric masking of randomness in sequence alignments can be improved and leads to better resolved trees
Background Methods of alignment masking, which refers to the technique of excluding
alignment blocks prior to tree reconstructions, have been successful in improving the signal …
