Using termite and cockroach genomes, researchers built phylogenetic trees from transposons, paving a new way to differentiate ...

A new phylogenetic comparative method is proposed, based on mapping two continuous characters on a tree to generate data pairs for regression or correlation analysis, which resolves problems of ...

Max Telford translated the technical effort behind studying evolution into a relatable story for every reader in The Tree of ...

Creating a family tree that dates back more than 400 million years and details the evolution of the most diverse group of animals on the planet is no easy feat, but one ambitious group of scientists ...

Aims: Long-term climate stability is hypothesized to drive the emergence of species assemblages with large species age differences due to the accumulation of relict species and relatively newly arisen ...

Genomic sequencing can be used to work out the evolutionary relationships of different species, or groups of organisms. This is known as phylogenetics. Species with more similarity in their genomes ...
