As population genomic datasets grow in size, researchers are faced with the daunting task
of making sense of a flood of information. To keep pace with this explosion of data …

Phylogenies are important for addressing various biological questions such as relationships
among species or genes, the origin and spread of viral infection and the demographic …

This paper provides an overview and a tutorial of the BPP program, which is a Bayesian
MCMC program for analyzing multi-locus genomic sequence data under the multispecies …

Comparative analysis of primate genomes within a phylogenetic context is essential for
understanding the evolution of human genetic architecture and primate diversity. We present …

Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) makes ancestral genetic polymorphisms persist during
rapid speciation events, inducing incongruences between gene trees and species trees. ILS …

The history of human population size is important for understanding human evolution.
Various studies,,,, have found evidence for a founder event (bottleneck) in East Asian and …

Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying
states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities or entire ecosystems through time …

In recent articles published in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Mark Springer and
John Gatesy (S&G) present numerous criticisms of recent implementations and testing of the …

Fossils and molecular data are two independent sources of information that should in
principle provide consistent inferences of when evolutionary lineages diverged. Here we …

Gorillas are humans' closest living relatives after chimpanzees, and are of comparable
importance for the study of human origins and evolution. Here we present the assembly and …
