Robust data-driven segmentation of pulsatile cerebral vessels using functional magnetic resonance imaging

This study develops an automatic method to segment cerebral arteries and superior sagittal sinus from fMRI data, showing high reproducibility across age groups.

Modeling of Rate Heterogeneity in Datasets Compiled for Use With Parsimony

The paper evaluates standard parameters for modeling among-character rate variation in Bayesian morphological phylogenetic analyses and offers recommendations.

Quantitative Models for Distinguishing Punctuated and Continuous-Time Models of Character Evolution and Their Implications for Macroevolutionary Theory

This paper develops a model to distinguish between punctuated and continuous-time character evolution models using Bayesian analyses of strophomenoid brachiopods, finding support for punctuated models over continuous-time models.

Assessing the Adequacy of Morphological Models used in Palaeobiology

The paper assesses the adequacy of morphological models in phylogenetics using posterior predictive simulations and finds that current Mk model variations perform adequately but no single model is universally best.
