What do phylogenetic trees illustrate? These diagrams don't just organize knowledge of biodiversity - they also show us that living species are the summation of their evolutionary history.

Earth systems models are an important tool for studying complex processes occurring around the planet, such as those in and ...

The Evolution Lab contains two main parts: Build A Tree: Students build phylogenetic trees themed around the evidence of evolution, including fossils, biogeography, and similarities in DNA.

Phylogenetic trees show the evolution of cancer cells in a tumor into different subpopulations, marked in red and blue. The colors around the rings represent the different cell states, or ...

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

These phylogenetic or evolutionary trees are traditionally built by comparing DNA or protein sequences and counting the similarities and differences to infer relationships. “In a phylogeny ...

fastidiosa with 330 more recent strains collected from plants in the US, Costa Rica, Spain, Taiwan, and Mexico. This helped the team construct a detailed phylogenetic tree mapping the pathogen’s ...

They found that drought caused a more pronounced phylogenetic dependence of growth patterns in temperate and tropical trees. TGPS values were higher in temperate forests than in tropical forests.

Researchers at Hokkaido University have developed a new computational tool to help evolutionary biologists analyze complex genetic data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of species and the ...

The truffles — a type of fungi found across the globe and revered as rare culinary delicacies — have since been studied ...
