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 ...
Why do you think it is helpful for science and non-science majors to understand the purpose and components of phylogenetic trees? How are zoology and botany linked? Explain spatial, temporal, biological, phylogenetic, taxonomic, and ecological scales and how they relate to each other ...
characters are not necessarily used for delimitation; typically, delimitation is based on molecular phylogeny, whereas recognition relies on quantitative (statistically tested) analysis of phenotypic characters mapped a posteriori onto phylogenetic trees, the desirable standard approach not only in fungal ...
The obtained phylogenetic residuals for that model were used as a new response variable in BRT models estimates, following the same modelling process explained above. While it would be preferable to directly include phylogeny into the BRT models, to our knowledge, this is not possible with this ...
However, while the taxonomic sufficiency of nematodes in detecting spatial gradients and related ecological niche conditions is well recognized, very little is known about nematodes functional morphometric attributes in response to environmental drivers. To explore this knowledge gap, we aimed to assess ...
The aim of this study is to understand how learners construct the picture of human phylogeny, focusing particularly on their views of the last common ancestor of two sister species, humans, and chimpanzees. A theoretical framework based primarily on the schema theory is used to interpret these ...
are well resolved and understood, and which parts require more research, either by adding taxa that have not been included yet (increasing taxon coverage), or by changing the phylogenetic approach (improving data quality, using different types of data or different methods of analysis). The ...
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...
Phylogenetics [82] can place observed viral sequences into the context of their evolutionary history through phylogenetic trees. These analyses give deeper insights into the realized evolutionary path, which, however, could have manifested quite differently in another occasion due to the random factors ...
