Convergent evolution of chromosomal sex-determining regions in the animal and fungal kingdoms.
James A. Fraser,Stephanie Diezmann,Ryan L. Subaran,Andria Allen,Klaus B. Lengeler,Klaus B. Lengeler,Fred S. Dietrich,Joseph Heitman +7 more
TL;DR: Comparative analysis of the MAT locus from a species cluster of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus revealed sequential evolutionary events that fashioned this large, highly unusual region, illustrating convergent evolution in sex-determining structures in the animal and fungal kingdoms.

Large multi-gene phylogenetic trees of the grasses (Poaceae): progress towards complete tribal and generic level sampling.
Yanis Bouchenak-Khelladi,Nicolas Salamin,Vincent Savolainen,Félix Forest,Michelle van der Bank,Mark W. Chase,Trevor R. Hodkinson +6 more
TL;DR: A fully resolved phylogenetic summary tree for the grass family at subfamily level is produced and the most likely relationships of all included tribes in the authors' analysis are indicated.

Data Partitions and Complex Models in Bayesian Analysis: The Phylogeny of Gymnophthalmid Lizards
TL;DR: This work partitions among-site rate variation separately among the c-mos, ND4, and 12S + 16S gene regions, and uses this three-way gamma partitioning in Bayesian analyses to reconstruct a robust phylogenetic hypothesis for the relationships of genera within the lizard family Gymnophthalmidae.

Phylogeography and species limits in the Gymnodactylus darwinii complex (Gekkonidae, Squamata): genetic structure coincides with river systems in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
K C M Pellegrino,Miguel Trefaut Rodrigues,Aaron N. Waite,Mariana Morando,Yatiyo Yonenaga Yassuda,Jack W. Sites +5 more
TL;DR: A hypothesis of species limits for G. darwinii is presented, based on concordant lines of evidence including cytogenetic and mtDNA analyses, and two chromosome races are interpreted to be full species on the basis of a number of empirical criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomic evidence for ancient hybridization in the genomes of living cats (Felidae)
TL;DR: The first robust felid time tree that accounts for unique maternal, paternal, and biparental evolutionary histories is presented, highlighting the mosaic origin of modern felid genomes and the influence of sex chromosomes and sex-biased dispersal in post-speciation gene flow.

A new look at the statistical model identification
TL;DR: In this article, a new estimate minimum information theoretical criterion estimate (MAICE) is introduced for the purpose of statistical identification, which is free from the ambiguities inherent in the application of conventional hypothesis testing procedure.

A simple method for estimating evolutionary rates of base substitutions through comparative studies of nucleotide sequences.
TL;DR: Some examples were worked out using reported globin sequences to show that synonymous substitutions occur at much higher rates than amino acid-altering substitutions in evolution.

Dating of the human-ape splitting by a molecular clock of mitochondrial DNA.
TL;DR: A new statistical method for estimating divergence dates of species from DNA sequence data by a molecular clock approach is developed, and this dating may pose a problem for the widely believed hypothesis that the bipedal creatureAustralopithecus afarensis, which lived some 3.7 million years ago, was ancestral to man and evolved after the human-ape splitting.
