The field of plant phylogenetics and genomic analysis has transformed our understanding of plant evolution and diversity. Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics have ...

Pinnipeds comprise a diverse group of marine carnivores that include seals, sea lions and the walrus. Their evolutionary history is marked by a complex interplay of ecological, morphological and ...

From computational biologists to forensic scientists, researchers from a range of disciplines are increasingly relying on phylogenetics--the classification of organisms and DNA sequences based on ...

A new study by scientists from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) has revealed significant cryptic diversity within two-toed sloths (Choloepus) in Amazonia, challenging ...

Phylogenetics, systematics, and biogeography deal with the identifying, classifying, and understanding the relationships among organisms, including their geographical extent. Methods range from ...
