Reliability of Bayesian posterior probabilities and bootstrap frequencies in phylogeneticsPer Erixon
Department of Systematic Botany, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Norbyv 18D, SE 75236 Uppsala, Sweden
Syst Biol 52:665-73. 2003..When data are analyzed under the correct model, nonparametric bootstrapping is conservative. Bayesian posterior probabilities are also conservative in this respect, but less so...
Whole-gene positive selection, elevated synonymous substitution rates, duplication, and indel evolution of the chloroplast clpP1 genePer Erixon
Department of Systematic Botany, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
PLoS ONE 3:e1386. 2008..Until recently, positive selection has seldom been observed in chloroplast genes, and large-scale structural rearrangements leading to gene duplications are hitherto supposed to be rare...
Reticulate or tree-like chloroplast DNA evolution in Sileneae (Caryophyllaceae)?Per Erixon
Department of Systematic Botany, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Norbyv 18D, SE 75236 Uppsala, Sweden
Mol Phylogenet Evol 48:313-25. 2008..The closely related S. atocioides and S. aegyptiaca form a sister group to Lychnis and the rest of Silene, thus suggesting that Silene may be paraphyletic, despite recent revisions based on molecular data...
Fundamental differences between the methods of maximum likelihood and maximum posterior probability in phylogeneticsBodil Svennblad
Department of Mathematics, Uppsala University, Box 480, SE 751 06 Uppsala, Sweden
Syst Biol 55:116-21. 2006..Bayesian inference; maximum likelihood method; Phylogeny; support.]...
Phylogenetics of asterids based on 3 coding and 3 non-coding chloroplast DNA markers and the utility of non-coding DNA at higher taxonomic levelsBirgitta Bremer
Department of Systematic Botany, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Norbyvagen 18D, SE 752 36 Uppsala, Sweden
Mol Phylogenet Evol 24:274-301. 2002..Several families of euasterids remain unclassified to order...
Bayesian support is larger than bootstrap support in phylogenetic inference: a mathematical argumentTom Britton
Department of Mathematics, Stockholm University, SE 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden
Math Med Biol 24:401-11. 2007..The argument uses properties of the marginal and profile likelihoods of the normal distribution. The heuristic arguments are supported in a simulation study evaluating different steps in the argument...
