Phylogenetic diversity and biodiversity indices on phylogenetic networks.
In biodiversity conservation it is often necessary to prioritize the species to conserve. Existing approaches to prioritization, e.g. the Fair Proportion Index and the Shapley Value, are based on phylogenetic trees and rank species according to their contribution to overall phylogenetic diversity. However, in many cases evolution is not treelike and thus, phylogenetic networks have been develop...
متن کاملThe Phylogenetic Diversity of Metagenomes
Phylogenetic diversity--patterns of phylogenetic relatedness among organisms in ecological communities--provides important insights into the mechanisms underlying community assembly. Studies that measure phylogenetic diversity in microbial communities have primarily been limited to a single marker gene approach, using the small subunit of the rRNA gene (SSU-rRNA) to quantify phylogenetic relati...
متن کاملPhyloSift: phylogenetic analysis of genomes and metagenomes
Like all organisms on the planet, environmental microbes are subject to the forces of molecular evolution. Metagenomic sequencing provides a means to access the DNA sequence of uncultured microbes. By combining DNA sequencing of microbial communities with evolutionary modeling and phylogenetic analysis we might obtain new insights into microbiology and also provide a basis for practical tools s...
متن کاملUnsmoothing valuation-based indices using multiple regimes
Valuation error and valuation index smoothing have been the subject of a great deal of recent research efforts, largely due to concerns over the quality of investment decisions that can be made using valuation-based data. To date, unsmoothing models have assumed that the variances in valuation noise and market noise are at a constant ratio, producing a constant unsmoothing parameter. This paper...
متن کاملOn Tree-Based Phylogenetic Networks
A large class of phylogenetic networks can be obtained from trees by the addition of horizontal edges between the tree edges. These networks are called tree-based networks. We present a simple necessary and sufficient condition for tree-based networks and prove that a universal tree-based network exists for any number of taxa that contains as its base every phylogenetic tree on the same set of ...
