Phylogenetic analysis at deep timescales: unreliable gene trees, bypassed hidden support, and the coalescence/concatalescence conundrum
J Gatesy, MS Springer - Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2014 - Elsevier
Large datasets are required to solve difficult phylogenetic problems that are deep in the Tree
of Life. Currently, two divergent systematic methods are commonly applied to such datasets …

Marine mammals harbor unique microbiotas shaped by and yet distinct from the sea
Marine mammals play crucial ecological roles in the oceans, but little is known about their
microbiotas. Here we study the bacterial communities in 337 samples from 5 body sites in 48 …
