Clades, clans, and reciprocal monophyly under neutral evolutionary models.
The Yule model and the coalescent model are two neutral stochastic models for generating trees in phylogenetics and population genetics, respectively. Although these models are quite different, they lead to identical distributions concerning the probability that pre-specified groups of taxa form monophyletic groups (clades) in the tree. We extend earlier work to derive exact formulae for the pr...
متن کاملClades and clans: a comparison study of two evolutionary models.
The Yule-Harding-Kingman (YHK) model and the proportional to distinguishable arrangements (PDA) model are two binary tree generating models that are widely used in evolutionary biology. Understanding the distributions of clade sizes under these two models provides valuable insights into macro-evolutionary processes, and is important in hypothesis testing and Bayesian analyses in phylogenetics. ...
متن کاملMonochromaticity in neutral evolutionary network models.
Recent studies on epistatic networks of model organisms have unveiled a certain type of modular property called monochromaticity in which the networks are clustered into functional modules that interact with each other through the same type of epistasis. Here, we propose and study three epistatic network models that are inspired by the duplication-divergence mechanism to gain insight into the e...
متن کاملOf clades and clans: terms for phylogenetic relationships in unrooted trees.
During the late 1980s, the molecular biology community became aware that the words ‘homology’ and ‘similarity’ werebeingused inmuchof the scientific literatureas though they were synonyms. This situation was clarified [1] and their current usage is usually appropriate. Recently, we have felt a similar need for standard and indeed, new, terminology for describing relationships in unrooted phylog...
متن کاملImproving phylogenetic regression under complex evolutionary models.
Phylogenetic Generalized Least Square (PGLS) is the tool of choice among phylogenetic comparative methods to measure the correlation between species features such as morphological and life-history traits or niche characteristics. In its usual form, it assumes that the residual variation follows a homogenous model of evolution across the branches of the phylogenetic tree. Since a homogenous mode...
