Biologists have confirmed the existence of a 200-million-year-old species of egg-laying mammal that has been assumed to be extinct.

and geological history of marine invertebrate animals, especially fossil echinoderms. Fundamental to my research is the reconstruction and downstream macroevolutionary analysis of phylogenetic trees ...

Many trees would be lucky to be as beautiful as Ailanthus altissima, also known as tree of heaven, a deciduous tree with quill-shaped leaves, light gray bark, and red-and-yellow-tinted seeds that ...

The tool, called PsiPartition, improves both the computational efficiency of the data analysis and the accuracy of the phylogenetic trees that visualize these relationships. The novel method was ...

Invertebrates are creatures without a backbone — like insects, worms, snails, arachnids, freshwater crayfish and mussels — and make up 95 per cent of the animal world. Scientists say more than ...

These two types of invertebrates have different ecological ... fragments of ITS-SSU-LSU-EF-1α-RPB1-RPB2 to construct a phylogenetic tree of the genus Harposporium and related genera.

The resulting phylogenetic estimate offers novel insights into the rapid radiation of modern birds and provides a taxon-rich backbone tree for future comparative studies.” By updating the family ...

So, they all grouped according to the known grouping of vertebrates in evolution, and the typical phylogenetic trees of life would have invertebrates as the next sort of sister branch to vertebrates, ...

This is the metadata section. Skip to content viewer section. Aim: Maintaining genetic connectivity is crucial for species that inhabit the disjunct and unstable deep-sea hydrothermal vents. We aimed ...

Meanwhile, invertebrates are often overlooked. But our new research shows rewilding with invertebrates – insects, worms, spiders and the like – can go a long way in bringing our degraded ...

It details a new software created by the researchers to search the COVID-19 phylogenetic tree, a diagram of the virus's evolutionary history, for instances of recombination. This software is open ...
