Exploring the distribution of phylogenetic networks generated under a birth-death-hybridization process

This study simulates phylogenetic networks under a birth-death-hybridization process to examine how gene flow patterns affect network structure and class membership.

SiPhyNetwork: An R package for Simulating Phylogenetic Networks

SiPhyNetwork simulates phylogenetic networks under a birth-death-hybridization process, allowing modeling of gene flow mechanisms like hybridization and lateral gene transfer.

Pollinator and host sharing lead to hybridization and introgression in Panamanian free-standing figs, but not in their pollinator wasps

Estimating the age of poorly dated fossil specimens and deposits using a total-evidence approach and the fossilized birth-death process

This study shows that Bayesian total-evidence phylogenetic analyses under the fossilized birth-death model can accurately estimate fossil ages, even when some specimens have poor dating.

Genome-wide sequence data show no evidence of admixture and introgression among pollinator wasps associated with a community of Panamanian strangler figs

The paper uses genome-wide UCE data to test for hybridization and introgression among pollinator wasps associated with Panamanian strangler figs, finding no evidence of such processes.

Inferring Processes of Coevolutionary Diversification in a Community of Panamanian Strangler Figs and Associated Pollinating Wasps

The paper uses genome-wide data from Panamanian strangler figs and pollinating wasps to infer coevolutionary processes, finding pervasive host switching rather than strict cospeciation.
