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

The new model focuses on phylogenetic diversity, which is very different from counting species, today's standard measure of biodiversity. The same number of species (three blue circles) can have a ...

A new computational tool improves the analysis of genetic data, making it easier and faster to study the evolutionary relationships between species. A new computational tool improves the analysis of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Evolutionary relationships are represented by phylogenetic trees, and a phylogenetic analysis of gene sequences typically produces a ...

Phylogenetic diversity (PD) is a measure of the evolutionary legacy of a group of species, which can be used to define conservation priorities. It has been shown that an important loss of species ...
