When COVID-19 arrived, researchers tried to build evolutionary family trees—known as phylogenetic trees—of the virus. These ...

Biologists will be able to reconstruct the process of evolution, determine relationships between species and build phylogenetic trees with greater accuracy thanks to a new method for identifying ...

Just as bird watchers may use binoculars to add to their species lists, scientists interested in bird evolution may use computational tools to clarify avian lineages. Indeed, such tools have enabled ...

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 ...

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 ...
