This may be the reason why biologists have only in the last few decades come to develop a rigorous understanding of phylogenetic trees. This understanding allows present-day researchers to use ...

What do phylogenetic trees illustrate? These diagrams don't just organize knowledge of biodiversity - they also show us that living species are the summation of their evolutionary history.

"I would say that any modern biologist would, or should, say that birds are reptiles," Martin Stervander, an evolutionary ...

Thaxterogaster is the second largest genus within the family Cortinariaceae, comprising nearly 200 species worldwide. However, the diversity of the genus in China remains largely unknown. Based on ...

In NOVA’s Evolution Lab, students will explore the evidence of evolution through the lens of phylogeny. The Evolution Lab contains two main parts: Build A Tree: Students build phylogenetic trees ...

This study is led by Dr. Zhu L. Yang (Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Natural Medicines, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of ...

The tool, called PsiPartition, improves both the computational efficiency of the data analysis and the accuracy of the phylogenetic trees that visualize these relationships. The novel method was ...

The early lineages of hexapods (broadly defined insects) have long been debated. Researchers at University of Tsukuba and ...

These phylogenetic or evolutionary trees are traditionally built by comparing DNA or protein sequences and counting the similarities and differences to infer relationships. However, researchers ...
