Reconstructing shifts in diversification rates on phylogenetic trees.
Few issues in evolutionary biology have received as much attention over the years or have generated as much controversy as those involving evolutionary rates. One unresolved issue is whether or not shifts in speclation and/or extinction rates are closely tied to the origin of 'key' innovations in evolution. This discussion has long been dominated by 'time-based' methods using data from the foss...
متن کاملWorkshop: Phylogenetic approaches to diversification Inferring evolutionary past from phylogenetic tree shapes
s of posters • Krzysztof Bartoszek (Chalmers U., Gothenburg) Conditioned branching processes and phenotype evolution Abstract. Conditioned branching processes have recently received a lot of attention in the biomathematical literature. They are useful for modelling and developing software in the field of phylogenetic tree inference. However on top of this they can also be combined with continuo...
متن کاملRapid diversification associated with a macroevolutionary pulse of developmental plasticity
Developmental plasticity has been proposed to facilitate phenotypic diversification in plants and animals, but the macroevolutionary potential of plastic traits remains to be objectively tested. We studied the evolution of feeding structures in a group of 90 nematodes, including Caenorhabditis elegans, some species of which have evolved a mouthpart polyphenism, moveable teeth, and predatory fee...
متن کاملEvolutionary Diversification of Insect Innexins
Phylogenetic analysis of insect innexins supported the hypothesis that six major clades of insect innexins arose by gene duplication prior to the origin of the endopterygote insects. Within one of the six clades (the Zpg Clade), two independent gene duplication events were inferred to have occurred in the lineage of Drosophila, after the most recent common ancestor of the dipteran families Culi...
متن کاملA phylogenetic analysis of macroevolutionary patterns in fermentative yeasts
When novel sources of ecological opportunity are available, physiological innovations can trigger adaptive radiations. This could be the case of yeasts (Saccharomycotina), in which an evolutionary novelty is represented by the capacity to exploit simple sugars from fruits (fermentation). During adaptive radiations, diversification and morphological evolution are predicted to slow-down after ear...
