  1. (7/7) And the winner was Crossroad.

    To explain the genetic puzzle in the Philippines, we concluded that two of the genus' major lineages, one Pacific, one African-Asian populated the Philippines when they came in reach and found enough place (niches) to radiate there. In course of this (early) contact, inter-lineage mixing occured (#CoralOfLife #reticulation) leading to the modern-day genetic mosaic.

    Towards that end, it may be worthwhile to explore the incongruent signals (see gCF results): what are the alternatives?

    Between-gene incongruence and phylogenomic branch supports < 100 may relate to lack of discriminative signal (fast ancient radiations) and ILS. Or evidences evolutionary #reticulation

    A dichotomous tree may simply be not comprehensive enough, for any group of plants #CoralOfLife

  3. @planetaryecologist

    Shouldn't that read, "In #cladistics, ..." or "...in a cladogram, phylogram, chronogram or, in general, a rooted dichotomous tree."

    Because this is also an evolutionary tree, probably the first-ever published. In contrast to common cladograms, it depicts explicit ancestor-descendant relationships and not only sister groups.

    The same guy also published the possibly first #evolutionary #network (#CoralOfLife): generalisation of the evolutionary trees
