DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2115013119
Abstract: SignificanceThe diversification of host-associated microbial communities depends on barriers to gene flow, imposed by confinement to different hosts or by niche partitioning within single hosts. However, most gut microbiomes are too complex to disentangle the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syad015
Abstract: Cross-species introgression can have significant impacts on phylogenomic reconstruction of species divergence events. Here, we used simulations to show how the presence of even a small amount of introgression can bias divergence time estimates when… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syz015
Abstract: Discrete morphological data have been widely used to study species evolution, but the use of quantitative (or continuous) morphological characters is less common. Here, we implement a Bayesian method to estimate species divergence times using… read more here.

Effects of Mountain Uplift and Climatic Oscillations on Phylogeography and Species Divergence in Four Endangered Notopterygium Herbs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Frontiers in Plant Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2017.01929
Abstract: Mountain uplift and climatic fluctuations are important driving forces that have affected the geographic distribution and population dynamics history of organisms. However, it is unclear how geological and climatic events might have affected the phylogeographic… read more here.
