Reconstructing ancestral character states: a critical reappraisal.
Using parsimony to reconstruct ancestral character states on a phylogenetic tree has become a popular method for testing ecological and evolutionary hypotheses. Despite its popularity, the assumptions and uncertainties of reconstructing the ancestral states of a single character have received less attention than the much less challenging endeavor of reconstructing phylogenetic trees from many c...
متن کاملReconstructing ancestral character states : a critical reappraisal Clifford
361 most of the growing season but, following certain environmental cues, amictic females produce mictic daughters. These mictic females produce haploid eggs meiotically that develop into either males or, if fertilized, resting eggs. Mictic females can only be fertilized within a few hours of birth3. Therefore, in Vollrath’s example a Brachionus rubens female does not fit Fisher’s theory of sex...
متن کاملInferring Functional Brain States Using Temporal Evolution of Regularized Classifiers
We present a framework for inferring functional brain state from electrophysiological (MEG or EEG) brain signals. Our approach is adapted to the needs of functional brain imaging rather than EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI). This choice leads to a different set of requirements, in particular to the demand for more robust inference methods and more sophisticated model validation techniqu...
متن کاملDisease association tests by inferring ancestral haplotypes using a hidden markov model
MOTIVATION Most genome-wide association studies rely on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses to identify causal loci. The increased stringency required for genome-wide analyses (with per-SNP significance threshold typically approximately 10(-7)) means that many real signals will be missed. Thus it is still highly relevant to develop methods with improved power at low type I error. Hapl...
متن کاملMATICCE: mapping transitions in continuous character evolution
SUMMARY MATICCE is a new software package in the R language for mapping phylogenetic transitions in organismal traits that have continuous distributions. MATICCE integrates over phylogenetic and model uncertainty and provides simulation functions for visualizing evolutionary scenarios based on estimated parameter values. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION MATICCE is written in the open source R ...
