INSECT PHYLOGENOMICS. Response to Comment on "Phylogenomics resolves the timing and pattern of insect evolution".
Tong et al. comment on the accuracy of the dating analysis presented in our work on the phylogeny of insects and provide a reanalysis of our data. They replace log-normal priors with uniform priors and add a "roachoid" fossil as a calibration point. Although the reanalysis provides an interesting alternative viewpoint, we maintain that our choices were appropriate.
متن کاملINSECT PHYLOGENOMICS. Comment on "Phylogenomics resolves the timing and pattern of insect evolution".
Misof et al. (Reports, 7 November 2014, p. 763) used a genome-scale data set to estimate the relationships among insect orders and the time scale of their evolution. Here, we reanalyze their data and show that their method has led to systematic underestimation of the evolutionary time scale. We find that key insect groups evolved up to 100 million years earlier than inferred in their study.
متن کاملPhylogenomics resolves the timing and pattern of insect evolution.
Insects are the most speciose group of animals, but the phylogenetic relationships of many major lineages remain unresolved. We inferred the phylogeny of insects from 1478 protein-coding genes. Phylogenomic analyses of nucleotide and amino acid sequences, with site-specific nucleotide or domain-specific amino acid substitution models, produced statistically robust and congruent results resolvin...
متن کاملInsect phylogenomics: results, problems and the impact of matrix composition.
In this study, we investigated the relationships among insect orders with a main focus on Polyneoptera (lower Neoptera: roaches, mantids, earwigs, grasshoppers, etc.), and Paraneoptera (thrips, lice, bugs in the wide sense). The relationships between and within these groups of insects are difficult to resolve because only few informative molecular and morphological characters are available. Her...
متن کاملPhylogenomics
don’t need to be told a reason for conserving species, but for many people (including those with the most money), the case does need to be made. Discovering and illustrating the remarkable cognitive abilities of a species can increase its value in conservation terms. Gorillas, chimpanzees and elephants are all expensive to conserve and endangered in the wild, and we owe them a fair portrayal. A...
