This study evaluates the accuracy of eucalypt taxonomy by comparing gene tree topologies to a concatenated species tree, revealing inconsistencies in taxonomic groupings.

PhyloRBT detects reference bias in phylogenomic datasets by comparing locus reconstructions across multiple reference genomes, identifying biased loci that affect species tree inference.

PhyloNOW improves phylogenomic analyses by allowing variable window sizes across chromosomes, outperforming fixed-size methods on simulated data and showing size variation in empirical datasets.

This study proposes using AIC to select optimal window sizes for whole genome alignments, finding shorter windows for butterflies and longer for great apes, with varying impacts on topology recovery.
