Journal ArticleDOI

Geographical and Historical Patterns in the Emergences of Novel Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5 and H7 Viruses in Poultry.

TL;DR: It is concluded that novel HPAI emergences by these two mechanisms occur in different ecological niches, with different viral, environmental and host associated factors, which has implications in early detection and management and mitigation of the risk of emergence of novel H PAI viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sampling bias and incorrect rooting make phylogenetic network tracing of SARS-COV-2 infections unreliable.

Carla Mavian, +39 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the “ancestral Wuhan B-type virus is immunologically or environmentally adapted to a large section of the East Asian population, and may need to mutate to overcome resistance outside East …”
Journal ArticleDOI

Scent of a break-up: phylogeography and reproductive trait divergences in the red-tailed bumblebee ( Bombus lapidarius )

TL;DR: This study suggests that population movement during Quaternary climatic oscillations can lead to divergence in reproductive traits by allopatric differentiation during Ice Ages and by reinforcement during post-glacial recolonization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using Viral Gene Sequences to Compare and Explain the Heterogeneous Spatial Dynamics of Virus Epidemics.

TL;DR: This study shows that phylogenetically informed viral movements can be used to elucidate the factors that impact virus dispersal, opening new opportunities for a better understanding of the impact of host species and environmental conditions on the spatial dynamics of rapidly evolving populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methods for species delimitation in bumblebees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Bombus): towards an integrative approach

TL;DR: Comparing taxonomic conclusions for a group of taxonomically doubtful species (the Bombus lapidarius‐group) obtained from the four commonly used lines of evidence for species delimitation in bumblebees shows that analyses based on wing shape do not delineate any obvious cluster, and nuclear/mitochondrial, sequence‐based species delimite methods, and analysesbased on cephalic labial gland secretions are congruent with each other.
