Vessels in a tree’s xylem transport water from the roots to the rest of the plant. Hardwood tree species tend to have large ...

In the dim waters off the Japanese coast, scientists have stumbled upon something that shouldn’t exist. Or at least not by the rules we thought biology followed. While sequencing DNA from a tiny ...

When trees and soil fungi form close associations with each other, both partners benefit. Many tree species have further ...

The tool, called PsiPartition, improves both the computational efficiency of the data analysis and the accuracy of the phylogenetic trees that visualize these relationships.

T-REX was created in response to requests to be able to easily link phylogenetic and phenotypic information together and yield insights from this. This package consists of a GUI-enabled phylogenetic ...

Trees utilized to assess the reproducibility of classification schemes included: a) a tree based on a duplicate IQ-TREE run utilizing the same data as above; b) a longer-term tree focused on one ...

We present a new method of constructing a phylogenetic network from a given phylogenetic tree. It is based on a procedure that locally improves the tree. The procedure is quite general and can be ...

The most detailed tree of life for flowering plants yet offers unrivaled insight into their evolutionary history.

A new, time-calibrated phylogenetic tree for angiosperms based on 353 nuclear genes. Baker et al., Nature 2024 ...

The resulting phylogenetic estimate offers novel insights into the rapid radiation of modern birds and provides a taxon-rich backbone tree for future comparative studies.” ...

They then organized this genetic database into a phylogenetic tree, which is akin to an evolutionary family tree. Using this, the researchers could determine how different varieties and groups are ...
