Phylogenomics resolves key relationships in Rumex and uncovers a dynamic history of independently evolving sex chromosomes

This study uses phylogenomic analysis of Rumex species to resolve sex chromosome evolution, finding two independent origins and chromosomal rearrangements without adaptive expansion support.

Phylogenomic comparative methods: accurate evolutionary inferences in the presence of gene tree discordance

This paper develops new phylogenomic methods to account for gene tree discordance in evolutionary trait analysis, showing improved accuracy in estimating trait evolution rates.

Distinguishing between histories of speciation and introgression using genomic data

This study uses supervised machine learning to distinguish between speciation and introgression histories using genomic data, showing high accuracy in simulated datasets.

The effects of introgression across thousands of quantitative traits revealed by gene expression in wild tomatoes

This study uses gene expression data from wild tomatoes to show introgression affects quantitative trait evolution by generating convergent patterns across thousands of traits.

Determining the probability of hemiplasy in the presence of incomplete lineage sorting and introgression

The paper develops a method to estimate hemiplasy probabilities in the presence of ILS and introgression, showing introgression increases hemiplasy likelihood and presents a tool for statistical inference.

A three-sample test for introgression

The paper introduces a new test for introgression, D3, which uses single sequences from three taxa and shows comparable statistical power to existing methods.

The timing and direction of introgression under the multispecies network coalescent

The paper develops statistical methods to test hypotheses about introgression timing and direction using the multispecies network coalescent framework and applies them to yeast genomic data.

Three new genome assemblies support a rapid radiation in Musa acuminata (wild banana)

This study presents three new genome assemblies of Musa acuminata subspecies to investigate their rapid radiation and evolutionary relationships with M. balbisiana.
