TLDR
It is demonstrated that tree topologies used to estimate likelihood model parameters can materially affect phylogenetic searches, and a procedure for reducing this bias is presented: "tree-based site partitioning," in which a comprehensive set of alternative topologies is used to estimates sequence data partitions based on inferred evolutionary rates.About:

The origin and diversification of eukaryotes: problems with molecular phylogenetics and molecular clock estimation
Andrew J. Roger,Laura A. Hug +1 more
TL;DR: Estimating the divergence dates between the major eukaryote lineages using molecular analyses is even more difficult than phylogenetic estimation, and confidence intervals on inferred dates can be very large.

Fungal pathogens as classical biological control agents against arthropods
Ann E. Hajek,Italo Delalibera +1 more
TL;DR: Classical biological control using fungal entomopathogens can provide a successful and environmentally friendly avenue for controlling arthropod pests, including the increasing numbers of invasive non-native species.

MrBayes 3: Bayesian phylogenetic inference under mixed models
TL;DR: MrBayes 3 performs Bayesian phylogenetic analysis combining information from different data partitions or subsets evolving under different stochastic evolutionary models to analyze heterogeneous data sets and explore a wide variety of structured models mixing partition-unique and shared parameters.

Evolutionary trees from DNA sequences: A maximum likelihood approach
TL;DR: A computationally feasible method for finding such maximum likelihood estimates is developed, and a computer program is available that allows the testing of hypotheses about the constancy of evolutionary rates by likelihood ratio tests.

Model Selection and Model Averaging in Phylogenetics: Advantages of Akaike Information Criterion and Bayesian Approaches Over Likelihood Ratio Tests
David Posada,Thomas R. Buckley +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the most commonly implemented model selection approach, the hierarchical likelihood ratio test, is not the optimal strategy for model selection in phylogenetics, and that approaches like the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian methods offer important advantages.

Evaluation of the maximum likelihood estimate of the evolutionary tree topologies from DNA sequence data, and the branching order in hominoidea
Hirohisa Kishino,Masami Hasegawa +1 more
TL;DR: A new method for estimating the variance of the difference between log likelihood of different tree topologies is developed by expressing it explicitly in order to evaluate the maximum likelihood branching order among Hominoidea.
