Here the traditional ultrametric concept of bifurcating and divergent phylogenetic tree is overturned and a new type of non-ultrametric diagram is introduced. The objective of this study is the description of gene flows in branching species/populations in terms of converging trees instead of ...
Phylogenetic analysis of the Digenea (Platyhelminthes: Cercomeria) with comments on their adaptive radiation. Canadian Journal of Zoology, 63, 411-443 Phylogenetic analysis of 63 digenean family groups, based on 113 adult characters and 90 larval characters, produced a phylogenetic tree comprising nine...
HomininsOne outstanding phenotypic character in Homo is its brain evolution. Pagel (Morphology, shape and phylogeny, CRC Press, Boca Raton, 2002) performed a phylogenetic analysis of the evolution of cranial capacity (as a surrogate of brain size) in fossil hominins, finding evidence for gradual ...
Despite the new data and matrix revisions, tree topology has remained remarkably stable. The addition of new craniodental material has served to markedly strengthen the support for the placement of Ar. ramidus as being derived relative to Sahelanthropus, and as the sister taxon of all later ...
Using the widely accepted hominoid phylogenetic tree, we perform a series of character optimization analyses using 65 selected life-history and behavioral characters for all extant hominid species. This analysis allows us to reconstruct the character states of the last common ancestors of Hominoidea, ...

First, we used a dated Bayesian analysis to generate a best estimate of the evolutionary relationships of fossil hominins includingH.naledi. Then we employed Bayes factor tests to compare the strength of support for hypotheses about the relationships ofH.naledisuggested by the best-estimate tree. ...
The maximum likelihood tree closely reflected generally recognized taxonomic relationships. For example, maximum likelihood analysis recovered rodents, birds and, within hominins, the Homo-Pan-Gorilla trichotomy. Within Artiodactyla, character state analysis showed that a substitution of Pro4 for His4 ...
Phylogenetic analysis of HPV16 variant sequences was performed with MEGA 7.0.26 software. The tree was built using the Maximum Likelihood method. 2. Methodology The aim of the present review was to give an overview of the most investigated HPV16 SNPs, variant lineages, and sublineages and ...
