Elaboration of Bayesian phylogenetic inference methods has continued at pace in recent
years with major new advances in nearly all aspects of the joint modelling of evolutionary data. …

Fully Bayesian multispecies coalescent (MSC) methods like *BEAST estimate species trees
from multiple sequence alignments. Today thousands of genes can be sequenced for a …

The role of MtCEP1, a member of the CEP (C-terminally encoded peptide) signaling peptide
family, was examined in Medicago truncatula root development. MtCEP1 was expressed in …

Reticulate species evolution, such as hybridization or introgression, is relatively common in
nature. In the presence of reticulation, species relationships can be captured by a rooted …

Under the multispecies coalescent model of molecular evolution, gene trees have
independent evolutionary histories within a shared species tree. In comparison, supermatrix …

In this article, we describe the presence of genes encoding close homologues of an endogenous
plant peptide, rapid alkalinization factor (RALF), within the genomes of 26 species of …

Despite tremendous efforts in the past decades, relationships among main avian lineages
remain heavily debated without a clear resolution. Discrepancies have been attributed to …

Phylogenetic networks extend phylogenetic trees to allow for modeling reticulate evolutionary
processes such as hybridization. They take the shape of a rooted, directed, acyclic graph, …

Background Small, secreted signaling peptides work in parallel with phytohormones to
control important aspects of plant growth and development. Genes from the C-TERMINALLY …

Lateral root (LR) proliferation is a major determinant of soil nutrient uptake. How resource
allocation controls the extent of LR growth remains unresolved. We used genetic, physiological…
