Extracting diamonds: Identifiability of 4-node cycles in level-1 phylogenetic networks under a pseudolikelihood coalescent model

The paper investigates the identifiability of hybrid nodes in 4-node cycles of phylogenetic networks using a pseudolikelihood coalescent model and provides sampling strategies to improve detection.

The grass that built the Central Highland of Madagascar: environmental niches and morphological diversity of Loudetia simplex

This study examines the environmental and morphological variation of Loudetia simplex in Madagascar and Africa, finding that Malagasy populations represent a single species with distribution patterns linked to environmental factors.

Genetic variation in Loudetia simplex supports the presence of ancient grasslands in Madagascar

This study uses genetic analysis of Loudetia simplex to infer ancient grassland distribution in Madagascar and assesses the utility of target-enrichment data for population genetics.

Mutationathon: towards standardization in estimates of pedigree-based germline mutation rates

The paper evaluates variation in germline mutation rate estimates across labs using a standardized pedigree of rhesus macaques, highlighting methodological differences and the need for standardization.

Benefits and Limits of Phasing Alleles for Network Inference of Allopolyploid Complexes

This paper shows that phasing alleles from allopolyploids improves phylogenetic network inference but faces challenges due to statistical non-identifiability.

Pedigree-based measurement of the de novo mutation rate in the gray mouse lemur reveals a high mutation rate, few mutations in CpG sites, and a weak sex bias

The paper estimates the de novo mutation rate in gray mouse lemurs using linked-read sequencing and finds a high mutation rate, few mutations in CpG sites, and a weak sex bias.

The Ceratodon purpureus genome uncovers structurally complex, gene rich sex chromosomes

The paper compares genomes of male and female mosses to study sex chromosome evolution, finding gene-rich, non-degenerated UV sex chromosomes.

Cryptic patterns of speciation in cryptic primates: microendemic mouse lemurs and the multispecies coalescent

The paper investigates species boundaries in mouse lemurs using multispecies coalescent methods, finding that some previously recognized species are not distinct while an undescribed lineage is supported as a new species.

A target enrichment probe set for resolving the flagellate plant tree of life

The paper introduces a target enrichment probe set for generating nuclear sequence data to resolve phylogenetic relationships among flagellate plants.

Population genomic structure in Goodman's mouse lemur reveals long-standing separation of Madagascar's Central Highlands and eastern rainforests

The paper uses RADseq data and coalescent methods to analyze population genomic structure in Goodman's mouse lemur, revealing historical separation between Madagascar's Central Highlands and eastern rainforests.
