After applying advanced evolutionary modeling techniques, the researchers report that about one-third of the long-proposed “linguistic universals”—patterns believed to exist across all languages—show ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

The story of primates is a tale of incredible variety and ancient roots, told through the lens of science, DNA, and time itself. These creatures, ranging from massive gorillas to tiny mouse lemurs, ...

Divergence time estimation resulting from Bayesian divergence time analysis of concatenated dataset in BEAST 2: maximum clade credibility (MCC) tree of the whole dataset, with the Nemacheilidae ...

This valuable manuscript presents a thorough analysis of the evolution of Major Histocompatibility Complex gene families across Primates. A key strength of this analysis is the use of state-of-the-art ...

The phylogenetic bootstrap is the most commonly used method for assessing statistical confidence in estimated phylogenies by non-Bayesian methods such as maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood (ML).

Crabronidae; Spilomena; apoid wasps; eusociality; partitioning; homoplasy criterion; social behavior; silk spinnerets The parsimony analyses under equal or implied weighting showed significantly ...

Summary of the topologies among the six genera of Gymnogynoideae among different studies following Zhou and Zhang’s (2023) classification. “-” represents maximum-likelihood bootstrap support values ...

Reticulate evolution has long been recognized as a key mechanism that contributes to genetic and trait diversity. With the widespread availability of genomic data, investigating historical reticulate ...

Just as bird watchers may use binoculars to add to their species lists, scientists interested in bird evolution may use computational tools to clarify avian lineages. Indeed, such tools have enabled ...
