Premise Whole‐genome duplications (WGDs) are prevalent throughout the evolutionary history of plants. For example, dozens WGDs have been phylogenetically localized across order Brassicales, specifically, within family Brassicaceae. A WGD event has also identified in Cleomaceae, sister to Brassicaceae, yet its placement, as well that other families order, remains unclear. Methods Phylo‐transcriptomic data were generated and used infer a nuclear phylogeny for 74 Brassicales taxa. Genome survey...
Myriad branches in the tree of life are intertwined through ecological relationships. Biologists have long hypothesized that intimate symbioses between lineages can influence diversification patterns to extent it leaves a topological imprint on phylogenetic trees interacting clades. Over past few decades, cophylogenetic methods development has provided toolkit for identifying such histories codiversification, yet is often difficult determine which tools best suit task at hand. In this...
ABSTRACT Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are prevalent throughout the evolutionary history of plants. For example, dozens WGDs have been phylogenetically localized across order Brassicales, specifically, within family Brassicaceae. However, while its sister family, Cleomaceae, has also characterized by a WGD, placement, as well that other WGD events in families order, remains unclear. Using phylo-transcriptomics from 74 taxa and genome survey sequencing for 66 those taxa, we infer nuclear...
Abstract Cophylogenetic methods describe discordance between non‐independent phylogenies. Simulation is necessary for testing cophylogenetic methods, but few simulators exist that are capable of generating data under explicit and biologically meaningful models. We present an R package, treeducken, simulating host–symbiont evolution gene‐tree–species‐tree evolution. treeducken provides a straightforward reproducible interface data. This allows easier performance has potential applications in...
In 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an abrupt overhaul of many academic practices, including transition scientific events, such as workshops, a fully virtual format. We describe our experiences organizing teaching online-only statistical phylogenetics workshops lessons we learned along way. found that online present some specific challenges, but format choices rigorous planning can alleviate concerns typically associated with medium. addition, have unique advantages flexibility...
