We studied the factors affecting the accuracy of the neighbor-joining (NJ) method for estimating phylogenies by simulating character change under different evolutionary models applied to twenty ...

Introduction: An introduction to the phylogenetic comparative method / Emmanuel Paradis ; Working with the tree of life in comparative studies : how to build and tailor phylogenies to interspecific ...

Biologists will be able to reconstruct the process of evolution, determine relationships between species and build phylogenetic trees with greater accuracy thanks to a new method for identifying ...

Female giant water bugs lay their eggs on a male's back after mating and the male takes care of the eggs until the nymphs are hatched, a couple of weeks later. A study led by Dr. Tomoya Suzuki of ...

Phylogeny is the representation of the evolutionary history and relationships between groups of organisms. The results are represented in a phylogenetic tree that provides a visual output of ...
