Red algae present a remarkable opportunity to explore the interwoven histories of taxonomy and molecular phylogenetics. Recent endeavours have increasingly demonstrated that traditional morphological ...

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 ...

Phylogenetics is an analytical tool that quickly analyzes genomic data to provide invaluable insights into the evolution and spread of a pathogen, thereby allowing public health officials and ...
