Back in May this year, Iosif Lazaridis submitted a paper to the arXiv , called: "The evolutionary history of human populations in Euro...

I have previously discussed the use of phylogenetic networks to study the Complex hybridizations in wheat , due to the very reticulate evol...

Lake Malawi, in south-eastern Africa, is famous for its large diversity of cichlid fishes. Indeed, it sometimes seems to have more biologist...

Over the years, a number of methods have been explored for constructing evolutionary networks, starting with parsimony criteria for optimiz...

There has been considerable interest in recent years in developing methods that will detect hybridization in the presence of incomplete lin...

Network techniques are becoming more widespread in biology and anthropology. However, the data in both of these disciplines can form very c...

This blog has, of course, long championed the importance of network models in phylogenetics. Slowly, very slowly, the rest of the world is ...

Continuing the recent blog theme of researchers analyzing potentially reticulate relationships without explicitly using networks ( Are netw...

I wrote recently about whether explicit network methods are currently used in practice to construct evolutionary networks ( Are networks ac...

There are several processes that create reticulate phylogenetic topologies, including hybridization, introgression (or admixture) and horizo...

One of the perennially most popular posts in this blog has been the one about the domestication of dogs: Why do we still use trees for the ...

In biology we often distinguish microevolutionary events, which occur at the population level, from macroevolutionary events, which involve...
