Trait evolution with incomplete lineage sorting and gene flow: the Gaussian Coalescent model

The paper introduces the Gaussian Coalescent model to account for incomplete lineage sorting and gene flow in trait evolution, showing improved accuracy over standard models.

Statistical inference of the Tree of Blobs of a phylogenetic network from quartet concordance factors

This paper introduces ECToBlob, an algorithm to estimate the tree of blobs from quartet concordance factors, providing a statistically consistent method for inferring phylogenetic networks.

Substitution rate variation, not hidden paralogy, drives false hybridization signal in phylogenetic network inference

The paper evaluates how substitution rate variation and hidden paralogy affect phylogenetic network inference methods, finding that rate variation causes false hybridization signals.

Ecological constraints and evolutionary trade-offs shape nitrogen fixation across habitats

The paper investigates how ecological constraints and evolutionary trade-offs influence nitrogen fixation across different habitats by analyzing microbial genomes and environmental factors.

Low accuracy of complex admixture graph inference from f-statistics

This study shows that inferring complex admixture graphs from f-statistics is inaccurate, especially for networks with small cycles and multiple reticulations, but the major tree can be reliably recovered.

SNaQ.jl: Improved Scalability for Phylogenetic Network Inference

SNaQ.jl improves scalability for phylogenetic network inference by enhancing computational efficiency without altering method accuracy.

KIMGENS: A novel method to estimate kinship in organisms with mixed haploid diploid genetic systems robust to population structure

KIMGENS estimates kinship in mixed haploid-diploid systems robust to population structure, outperforming existing methods in simulations and a honeybee dataset.
