We present a methodological phylogenetic reconstruction approach combining Maximum Parsimony and Phylogenetic Networks methods for the study of human evolution applied to phenotypic craniodental characters of 22 hominin species. The approach consists in selecting and validating a tree-like most parsimonious ...
Knowing phylogenetic relationships among species is fundamental for many studies in biology. An accurate phylogenetic tree underpins our understanding of the major transitions in evolution, such as the emergence of new body plans or metabolism, and is ke
For your understanding, here we have examples of Human Phylogenetic trees and Animal Phylogenetic trees. Human Phylogenetic Tree As you can see in the diagram, every species or individual (in this case) has a common ancestor, and that is your grandparent. Then it splits up into two branches...
Evolution may be changed over time, but just how much time can be hard to grasp. In a short time frame, such as a human lifespan, the relationship among most organisms within a species is not treelike at all. However from a ‘zoomed-out’ view, we can consider the members of a spe...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is widespread in the evolution of prokaryotes, especially those associated with the human body. Here, we implemented large-scale gene-species phylogenetic tree reconstructions and reconciliations to identify putative HGT-derived genes in the reference genomes of microbiota ...

Application of ...
Tree topologies generated using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood approaches were highly congruent. Six monophyletic groups were obtained. All the species were distinct except within the cultivated clade, where it was not possible to separate the two main cultivated species (D. cayenensis, D. ...
Evolution of substrate specificity in Eukaryote GH20 family members The phylogenetic hypotheses presented here may be used to understand the evolution of GH20 family functionality in eukaryotes. While our phylogenetic reconstructions do not allow reliable rooting of the eukaryote tree or permit us to un...
