Relaxed phylogenetics and dating with confidence.

In phylogenetics, the unrooted model of phylogeny and the strict molecular clock model are two extremes of a continuum. Despite their dominance in phylogenetic inference, it is evident that both are biologically unrealistic and that the real evolutionary process lies between these two extremes. Fortunately, intermediate models employing relaxed molecular clocks have been described. These models open the gate to a new field of "relaxed phylogenetics." Here we introduce a new approach to performing relaxed phylogenetic analysis. We describe how it can be used to estimate phylogenies and divergence times in the face of uncertainty in evolutionary rates and calibration times. Our approach also provides a means for measuring the clocklikeness of datasets and comparing this measure between different genes and phylogenies. We find no significant rate autocorrelation among branches in three large datasets, suggesting that autocorrelated models are not necessarily suitable for these data. In addition, we place these datasets on the continuum of clocklikeness between a strict molecular clock and the alternative unrooted extreme. Finally, we present analyses of 102 bacterial, 106 yeast, 61 plant, 99 metazoan, and 500 primate alignments. From these we conclude that our method is phylogenetically more accurate and precise than the traditional unrooted model while adding the ability to infer a timescale to evolution.

Predicting functional gene links from phylogenetic-statistical analyses of whole genomes.

An important element of the developing field of proteomics is to understand protein-protein interactions and other functional links amongst genes. Across-species correlation methods for detecting functional links work on the premise that functionally linked proteins will tend to show a common pattern of presence and absence across a range of genomes. We describe a maximum likelihood statistical model for predicting functional gene linkages. The method detects independent instances of the correlated gain or loss of pairs of proteins on phylogenetic trees, reducing the high rates of false positives observed in conventional across-species methods that do not explicitly incorporate a phylogeny. We show, in a dataset of 10,551 protein pairs, that the phylogenetic method improves by up to 35% on across-species analyses at identifying known functionally linked proteins. The method shows that protein pairs with at least two to three correlated events of gain or loss are almost certainly functionally linked. Contingent evolution, in which one gene's presence or absence depends upon the presence of another, can also be detected phylogenetically, and may identify genes whose functional significance depends upon its interaction with other genes. Incorporating phylogenetic information improves the prediction of functional linkages. The improvement derives from having a lower rate of false positives and from detecting trends that across-species analyses miss. Phylogenetic methods can easily be incorporated into the screening of large-scale bioinformatics datasets to identify sets of protein links and to characterise gene networks.

Rapoport effect in South American Carnivora (Mammalia): null models under geometric and phylogenetic constraints.

Rapoport effect predicts that species geographic range sizes will increase toward higher latitudes, probably reflecting adaptations to extreme climatic conditions that increase species tolerance. Recently, studies about spatial patterns in species richness and geographic range size may be associated with the geometry of species' ranges. In this context, null models can be used to search for the causal mechanisms associated with these patterns. In this paper, we analyzed Rapoport effect using a null model to evaluate how phylogenetic structure and geometric constraints simultaneously affect latitudinal extents of 40 species of South American terrestrial Carnivora. The latitudinal extents of Carnivora tended to decrease toward Southern latitudes, in the opposite direction expected under a simple Rapoport effect, but in accordance to geometric expectations of position of midpoints in the continent. Using 5000 simulations, it was possible to show that the null regression coefficients of latitudinal extents against midpoints are positively biased, reflecting the geometric constraints in the latitudinal extents. The results were equivalent in phylogenetic and non-phylogenetic analyses. The observed regression coefficient was significantly smaller (line is less inclined) than expected by chance alone, demonstrating that the geometric constraints in the latitudinal extents exist even after controlling for phylogenetic structure in data using eigenvector regressions. This suggests that the "spirit" of Rapoport effect (sensu Lyons & Willig, 1997) could be maintained, i.e., that latitudinal extents in Southern region of the continent are relatively larger than those in Northern regions, even after controlling for phylogenetic effects.

Simultaneous effects of phylogenetic niche conservatism and competition on avian community structure.

We currently have only a partial understanding of how phylogenetic relationships relate to patterns of community structure, in part because, for most groups of organisms, we do not know the extent to which ecological similarity results from common ancestry. Associations between phylogenetic relatedness and local community structure are particularly interesting for groups in which many species that span a gradient of phylogenetic divergence occur in potential sympatry. We explored the relationship between evolutionary relatedness and current species co-occurrence among the North American wood-warblers (Aves: Parulidae), a group of songbirds known both for its species diversity and for exhibiting high levels of sympatry at breeding sites. Species co-occurrences were derived from North American Breeding Bird Survey transects comprising 160,000 census points distributed across North America. The nested point-within-transect structure of this survey provides an unusual opportunity to remove larger-scale geographical effects on local community composition and thereby consider patterns of co-occurrence only among regionally sympatric pairs of species. We indexed evolutionary relatedness among all pairs of taxa by genetic distances based on long mitochondrial DNA protein-coding sequences. Most regionally sympatric taxon pairs rarely co-occur at local sites, and the most closely related never exhibit high local co-occurrences, as predicted if past or present competitive effects are strongest for these recently separated lineages. Quantile regression shows that, for a subset of taxa, local co-occurrence does increase with time since common ancestry, and that this apparent relaxation of competitive exclusion is strongest for distantly related species that have differentiated in fundamental ecological and behavioral traits, such as terrestrial vs. arboreal foraging. Comparisons against a null model of species co-occurrence further demonstrate that these patterns occur against a background of phylogenetic niche conservatism: across all phylogenetic distances, sympatric species co-occurred at higher rates than expected by chance, a pattern that might stem from a tendency by these species to show conservatism in their selection of similar general habitat types. Considered in concert, these analyses suggest the simultaneous mediation of local community structure by the ecological similarity of closely related species and by trait divergence among a subset of more distant lineages.

The phylogenetic relationships of cyanobacteria inferred from 16S rRNA, gyrB, rpoC1 and rpoD1 gene sequences.

Phylogenetic analysis of cyanobacteria was carried out using the small subunit rRNA (16S rRNA), DNA gyrase subunit B (gyrB), DNA-dependent RNA polymerase gamma subunit (rpoC1) and a principal sigma factor of E. coli sigma(70) type for DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (rpoD1) gene sequences of 24 strains which contained 5 subgroups of cyanobacteria-3 strains of the Chroococcales, 5 strains of the Pluerocapsales, 7 strains of the Oscillatoriales, 7 strains of the Nostocales and 2 strains of the Stigonematales. Degenerated PCR primers of gyrB, rpoC1 and rpoD1 genes were designed using consensus amino acid sequences registered in GenBank. The phylogenetic positions of cyanobacteria were resolved through phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA, gyrB, rpoC1 and rpoD1 gene sequences. Phylogenies of gyrB, rpoC1 and rpoD1 support 16S rRNA-based classification of cyanobacteria. Interestingly, phylogenies from amino acid sequences deduced from gyrB and combined amino acid sequences deduced from rpoC1 and rpoD1 genes strongly support that of 16S rRNA, but the branching pattens of the trees based on 16S rDNA, GyrB, rpoC1, rpoD1 and combined amino acid sequences deduced from rpoC1 and rpoD1 were not congruent. In this study, we showed the correlation among phylogenetic relationships of 16S rDNA, gyrB, rpoC1 and rpoD1 genes. The phylogenetic trees based on the sequences of 16S rDNA, GyrB, rpoC1, rpoD1 and the combined amino acid sequences deduced from rpoC1 and rpoD1 showed that the lateral gene transfer of rRNA might be suspected for Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

General properties and phylogenetic utilities of nuclear ribosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA commonly used in molecular systematics.

To choose one or more appropriate molecular markers or gene regions for resolving a particular systematic question among the organisms at a certain categorical level is still a very difficult process. The primary goal of this review, therefore, is to provide a theoretical information in choosing one or more molecular markers or gene regions by illustrating general properties and phylogenetic utilities of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that have been most commonly used for phylogenetic researches. The highly conserved molecular markers and/or gene regions are useful for investigating phylogenetic relationships at higher categorical levels (deep branches of evolutionary history). On the other hand, the hypervariable molecular markers and/or gene regions are useful for elucidating phylogenetic relationships at lower categorical levels (recently diverged branches). In summary, different selective forces have led to the evolution of various molecular markers or gene regions with varying degrees of sequence conservation. Thus, appropriate molecular markers or gene regions should be chosen with even greater caution to deduce true phylogenetic relationships over a broad taxonomic spectrum.

The foot-and-mouth disease RNA virus as a model in experimental phylogenetics.

Phylogenetic reconstruction methods are subject to two types of limitations: our knowledge about the true history of organisms and the gross simplification implied in the numerical simulation models of the relationships between them. In such a situation, experimental phylogenetics provides a way to assess the accuracy of the phylogenetic reconstruction methods. Nonetheless, this capacity is only feasible for organisms in which replication and mutation rates are high enough to provide valuable data. On the other hand, experimental phylogenetics also provides insights on the main evolutionary processes acting on viral variability under different population dynamics. Our study with the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) strongly suggests that the phylogenetic reconstruction methods can infer erroneous phylogenies due to nucleotide convergences between isolates belonging to different experimental lineages. We also point out that the diverse evolutionary mechanisms acting in different experimental dynamics generate alterations and change the frequencies of genetic variants, which can lead to the misinterpretation of the real evolutionary history.

Phylogenetic comparison and artificial selection. Two approaches in evolutionary physiology.

Interspecific comparison has a long and productive history in physiology. Conceptual and statistical advances over the last 15 years have demonstrated several ways in which comparisons can be enhanced by consideration of phylogenetic information, i.e., empirical estimates of the ways in which organisms are related (evolutionary trees). Choice of species to be compared should be informed by phylogenetic information. For example, a comparison of three species that inhabit high altitude with three that live at low altitude would be suspect if each of the two groups were composed of closely-related species (e.g., within single genera). To avoid such "phylogenetic pseudoreplication," one might instead study species from three different genera, each containing one high-altitude and one low-altitude inhabitant. Unfortunately, many studies have not been so carefully designed, sometimes because organisms were not accessible or because the studies incorporated data from the literature. Fortunately, several new statistical methods correct for problems caused by phylogenetic relatedness and descent with modification, the most common being phylogenetically independent contrasts. Another tool that can be used in comparative physiology is selective breeding, which has been practiced for millennia and applied in scientific contexts for over a century. In the last 20 years, ecological and evolutionary physiologists have begun using selection experiments to study processes of genetic adaptation in physiological and behavioral traits. For example, house mice have been maintained in the cold for multiple generations to see what adaptations may occur naturally in response to reduced ambient temperature ("laboratory natural selection"). Our own laboratory has used selective breeding to create four replicate lines of mice that exhibit high levels of voluntary wheel-running behavior, as well as various morphological and physiological characteristics that cause or allow the elevated locomotor activity. Similar experiments could be used to study adaptation to hypoxia.

[Phylogenetic relationship of mitochondrial DNA in salmonids of the subfamily Salmoninae: analysis of the cytochrome b gene sequences].

On the basis of comparison of the cytochrome b gene nucleotide sequences from genetic databases, the possible phylogenetic relationships of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) among all major lineages of Salmoninae (Brachymystax, Parahucho, Salvelinus, Salmo, Parasalmo, and Oncorhynchus) were examined. Three different phylogenetic methods (UPGMA, NJ, and ML) yielded phylogenetic trees of essentially the same topology: (((Brachymystax, Parahucho), Salvelinus, Salmo), (Parasalmo, Oncorhynchus)). The results obtained using the maximum parsimony method were less clear. Apparently, the divergence of the main salmonid lineages occurred during a relatively short time period; hence, the number of synapomorphs marking the order of their divergence was extremely low. This may account for the relative failure to use the maximum parsimony method of phylogenetic reconstruction. The problem of concordance of mtDNA and species phylogenetic schemes is discussed. Their discrepancy in salmonids may be caused by interspecific introgressive hybridization.

Towards an inclusive philosophy for phylogenetic inference.

We defend and expand on our earlier proposal for an inclusive philosophical framework for phylogenetics, based on an interpretation of Popperian corroboration that is decoupled from the popular falsificationist interpretation of Popperian philosophy. Any phylogenetic inference method can provide Popperian "evidence" or "test statements" based on the method's goodness-of-fit values for different tree hypotheses. Corroboration, or the severity of that test, requires that the evidence is improbable without the hypothesis, given only background knowledge that includes elements of chance. This framework contrasts with attempted Popperian justifications for cladistic parsimony--in which evidence is the data, background knowledge is restricted to descent with modification, and "corroboration," as a by-product of nonfalsification, is to be measured by cladistic parsimony. Recognition that cladistic "corroboration" reflects only goodness-of-fit, not corroboration/severity, makes it clear that standard cladistic prohibitions, such as restrictions on the evolutionary models to be included in "background knowledge," have no philosophical status. The capacity to assess Popperian corroboration neither justifies nor excludes any phylogenetic method, but it does provide a framework in phylogenetics for learning from errors--cases where apparent good evidence is probable even without the hypothesis. We explore these issues in the context of corroboration assessments applied to likelihood methods and to a new form of parsimony. These different forms of evidence and corroboration assessment point also to a new way to combine evidence--not at the level of overall fit, but at the level of overall corroboration/severity. We conclude that progress in an inclusive phylogenetics will be well served by the rejection of cladistic philosophy.

Evolution and phylogenetic information content of mitochondrial genomic structural features illustrated with acrodont lizards.

DNA sequences from 195 squamate reptiles indicate that mitochondrial gene order is the most reliable phylogenetic character establishing monophyly of acrodont lizards and of the snake families Boidae, Colubridae, and Viperidae. Gene order shows no evidence of evolutionary parallelisms or reversals in these taxa. Derived secondary structures of mitochondrial tRNAs also prove to be useful phylogenetic characters showing no reversals. Parallelisms for secondary structures of tRNAs are restricted to deep lineages that are separated by at least 200 million years of independent evolution. Presence of a stem-and-loop structure between the genes encoding tRNA(Asn) and tRNA(Cys), where the replication origin for light-strand synthesis is typically located in vertebrate mitochondrial genomes, is found to undergo at least three and possibly as many as seven evolutionary shifts, most likely parallel losses. This character is therefore a less desirable phylogenetic marker than the other structural changes examined. Sequencing regions that contain multiple genes, including tRNA genes, may be preferable to the common practice of obtaining single-gene fragments for phylogenetic inference because it permits observation of major structural changes in the mitochondrial genome. Such characters may occasionally provide phylogenetic information on relatively short internal branches for which base substitutional changes are expected to be relatively uninformative.

[Conditionally neutral phylogenetic markers of major taxa: a new aspect of the evolution of macromolecules].

The current phase of molecular phylogenetics can be named the 18S rRNA gene era, which is now approaching the end. To date, almost all phyla of metazoans and many taxa of protists are represented in databases of 18S rRNA gene sequences. The elements of the phylogenetic tree of Metazoa inferred from 18S rRNA genes are characterized by unequal validity: some of them seem to be well grounded; others are not adequately supported, and probably will be revised later. The validity of phylogenetic reconstruction is influenced by two main factors: (1) erroneous grouping of long branches that occur because of abnormally high evolution rate; (2) deficit of phylogenetically informative characters. A method for overcoming these difficulties is suggested in addition to known tools: using phylogenetic markers that are stable within individual taxa and evolve by punctuated equilibrium. These markers are least influenced by the convergence caused by a high evolution rate of the entire gene. The nature of these markers of ancient taxa, paradoxical from the perspective of neutral evolution, is discussed, as well as their importance for establishing monophyly of both new large-scale taxonomic groups of invertebrates (Bilateria + Rhombozoa + Orthonectida + Myxozoa + Cnidaria + Placozoa and Echinodermata + Hemichordata) and some major taxa of Nematoda.

[Phylogenetic diversity of microbes and its perspectives in conservation biology].

Molecular phylogenetic analysis plays a very important role in the study of microbial diversity. For both cultivated and uncultivated microbes, the comparative sequence analysis of 16S rRNA enabled the investigation of phylogenetic relationships among microorganisms in a manner that was not feasible through traditional microbiological methods. As a result, there are drastic revisions in our understanding of microbiology. The phylogenetic diversity based on the comparative sequence analysis of 16S rRNA produced new insights into the biodiversity conservation. It provides a method for biodiversity judgment and a guideline for biodiversity conservation. Also, it produces the aim of conservation, which is to keep the phylogenetic information as much as possible. In this review, some characters of microbial phylogenetic diversity and the perspectives in conservation biology are outlined.

[Sequence variation of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and phylogenetic relationships among twelve species of Charadriiformes].

Studies of the phylogenetic relationships of the Charadriiformes have been largely based on conservative morphological characters. During the past 10 years, many studies on the evolutionary biology of birds adopted phylogenetic information obtained from mitochondrial DNA, but few work on the Charadriiformes has been reported to date. Therefore, phylogenetic relationships and classification of the Charadriiformes remains controversial. In this study, we try to shed light on these relationships via DNA sequence analysis of the mitochondrial Cyt b gene in 12 species of Charadriiformes. It was a preliminary study of the origin and evolution of the species by using nucleotide sequence data. Using the well-known PCR techniques, the complete mitochondrial Cyt b gene sequences were amplified and sequenced respectively from Charadrius mongolus, Charadrius alexandrinus, Numenius madagascariensis, Numenius arquat, Numenius phaeopus, Tringa totanus, Tringa glareola, Xenus cineres, Arenaria interpres, Calidris tenuirostris, Recurvirostra avosetts and Haematopus ostralensis. The 1143 bp long DNA sequences of the gene from these species were obtained, in which 381 variable sites were identified without insertions or deletions. The nucleic acid sequence variation of the mitochondrial Cyt b gene was 5.16%-16.01% among these species. Phylogenetic trees constructed using the NJ method, MP method and ML method with Ciconia ciconia as the outgroup indicate that the 12 species of Charadriiformes examined in this study are clustered in two major clades. The first clade includes T. totanus, T. glareola, A. interpres, C. tenuirostris, X. cineres, N. madagascariensis, N. arquata and N. phaeopus. The second one includes C. mongolus, C. alexandrinus, R. avosetts and H. ostralensis. Our molecular data show that the phylogenetic relationships among species of Scolopacidae are consistent with the classification based on morphological studies; R. avosetts and H. ostralensis are relatively closer, and form a sister group, and then form paraphyletic group with a sister group which comprised of C. mongolus and C. alexandrinus. The results support Sibley's opinion of assigning R. avosetts and H. ostralensis which form Recurvirostrinae as a taxon of the Charadriidae, and the Charadriidae dividing into two subfamilies: Recurvirostrinae and Charadriinae respectively.

[Cloning and sequencing of the introns of UCP gene and construction of molecular phylogenetic tree in chicken].

The UCP genes were the newly discovered genes that can increase the energy expenditure and involve in the metabolism of fat and regulation of energy. Four pairs of primers in chicken UCP exon region were designed to amplify the introns of chicken UCP gene according to the splice ways of the mouse UCP2 gene (Accession No.AF096288). The sequence results showed that the chicken UCP gene also had five GT-AG type introns. The molecular phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the sequence of cds, intron 2 and intron 3 region, respectively. The phylogenetic tree based on the UCP cds region was consistent with the species phylogenetic tree. This result implicated that UCP gene can be regarded as the useful gene for the study of animal phylogenesis. On the contrast, the phylogenetic tree based on the intron 2 and intron 3 region was different from the species phylogenetic tree, which showed that the evolution of intron and cds region is different.

MinPD: distance-based phylogenetic analysis and recombination detection of serially-sampled HIV quasispecies.

A new computational method to study within-host viral evolution is explored to better understand the evolution and pathogenesis of viruses. Traditional phylogenetic tree methods are better suited to study relationships between contemporaneous species, which appear as leaves of a phylogenetic tree. However, viral sequences are often sampled serially from a single host. Consequently, data may be available at the leaves as well as the internal nodes of a phylogenetic tree. Recombination may further complicate the analysis. Such relationships are not easily expressed by traditional phylogenetic methods. We propose a new algorithm, called MinPD, based on minimum pairwise distances. Our algorithm uses multiple distance matrices and correlation rules to output a MinPD tree or network. We test our algorithm using extensive simmulations and apply it to a set of HIV sequence data isolated from one patient over a period of ten years. The proposed visualization of the phylogenetic tree\network further enhances the benefits of our methods.

Phylogenetic Constraints and Environmental Filtering Jointly Drive Adaptive Evolution in Phragmites australis: From Genetic Structure to Trait Decoupling on the Mongolian Plateau.

The Mongolian Plateau, a typical arid and semi-arid zone in Eurasia, is characterized by highly heterogeneous and fragmented wetland habitats. Phragmites australis, a common wetland species in this region, exhibits remarkable adaptability. Unraveling the coordination between phylogenetic history and local environmental filtering is crucial for elucidating its adaptive mechanisms. Integrating landscape genomics and trait-based phylogenetic analyses, we analyzed transcriptome-wide SNPs, multidimensional functional traits, and environmental variables across 90 individuals from 30 natural P. australis populations. This study aims to reveal the genetic and phenotypic variation patterns underlying population genetic structure and trait variation, specifically distinguishing the roles of geographic isolation, environmental filtering, and phylogenetic history. Results reveal a significant drainage-dependent pattern in genetic structure. Populations in hydrologically connected basins show extensive admixture, whereas those in isolated endorheic basins form distinct lineages. While geographic isolation underpins genetic differentiation, environmental filtering independently explains ~33.84% of the genetic variation, driven primarily by moisture heterogeneity (precipitation seasonality and soil moisture). Crucially, we observed differentiated evolutionary trajectories across functional traits. Structural traits (e.g., plant height, leaf thickness) are phylogenetically conserved; in contrast, physiological traits (e.g., water use efficiency) are decoupled from phylogeny, showing patterns consistent with high plasticity regulated by local environments. This evolutionary decoupling strategy enables P. australis to flexibly adapt to heterogeneous habitats while maintaining structural stability. This study uncovers the synergistic mechanisms by which geographic isolation and environmental filtering jointly shape the genetic patterns of this cosmopolitan species at a regional scale, clarifies that its evolutionary responses may depend heavily on the differentiated plasticity of trait types, and provides valuable regional insights into how widespread wetland species adapt to heterogeneous environments under global change.

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of a Newly Recorded Chinese Species of Diglyphus sabulosus (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and Insights into Its Phylogenetic Position.

Diglyphus Walker, 1844 is an economically important genus which many species acting as biocontrol agents against agromyzid leafminer pests, but there is a lack of mitogenomic data on the evolutionary relationships within this genus, hindering a comprehensive understanding of its evolutionary history. We used traditional morphological methods to identify species, and present the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence and characterization of features of Diglyphus sabulosus and further infer its phylogenetic position based on the amino acid sequences of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs). The complete mitochondrial genome of D. sabulosus is 15,690 bp in length, including 13 PCGs, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and a control region. The AT content of the whole genome sequence was 81.0%, indicating a significant AT bias. All protein-coding genes have the typical ATN as the start codon and TAA as the stop codon. Phylogenetic analysis inferred from the amino acid sequences of 13 PCGs revealed that all species within the family Eulophidae constituted a monophyletic clade, supporting the monophyly of this family. D. sabulosus and D. poppoea form a well-supported sister group, representing the species with the closest phylogenetic relationship within the analyzed taxa. In this study, the mitogenome structure was analyzed and the taxonomic status of D. sabulosus was clarified, thus providing a theoretical basis for understanding the phylogenetic relationships of Diglyphus.
