In this chapter, we provide an overview on how to interpret and combine phylogenetic information from different sources, and review the various tree-tailoring techniques by touching upon issues that are crucial for the understanding of other chapters in this book. We conclude that whichever method ...
A problem we see in psychological network papers is that authors sometimes over-interpret thevisualizationof their data. This pertains especially to the layout and node placement of the graph, for instance: do nodes in the networks cluster in certain communities. Below I will discuss this problem ...
The only way to release leadership is with close(), which results in another participant being elected as leader, and then to be eligible for subsequent re-election you also have to create a new LeaderLatch and start() it. You also need to watch out for connection problems, which may...
True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (e.g. Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 million predicted species. Compared to plants and animals, fungi have simple body p
In addition, for plants of each habitat in the botanical garden, we checked if phylogenetic relatedness influenced our results due to species’ common ancestry. We accounted for phylogeny by using residuals from regression models where the response variables, the reproductive outputs, were regressed on...
1, as it is difficult to interpret the results at all without making several of these assumptions. Here we use simulated and real data to illustrate how following this protocol can lead to inference of false histories, and how badMIXTURE can be used to examine model fit and avoid common ...
Phylogenetic Trees I have another question. Here is this beautiful, tidy chart that shows how neatly different animals evolved from one common ancestor. This evolutionary tree has a crocodile-like animal at the bottom, and all these branches coming out from him, and we end up with turtles and...
and appears to break the rule of spatial colinearity [2]. The principal aim of the present work is to place the Hox cluster of echinoderms in the more general, phylogenetic framework of other deuterostome clades, thereby attempting to establish an evolutionary scenario for the Hox cluster in ...
Evolutionary relationships can be estimated through construction of phylogenetic trees or networks, and there are many methods through which this can be achieved. The inputs for these analyses can be derived from the results of either reference-based mapping or de novo assembly. In the latter case...
it is hard to interpret whether geographic separation contributed to the divergence ofO. sinensis. The distribution range ofO. sinensismay have expanded because of climate change. The branch of the Kuroshio Current, particularly expanding to the East Sea, known as the Tsushima Current, for example,...
