Wagner and Dollo: a stochastic duet by composing two parsimonious solos.
New contributions toward generalizing evolutionary models expand greatly our ability to analyze complex evolutionary characters and advance phylogeny reconstruction. In this article, we extend the binary stochastic Dollo model to allow for multi-state characters. In doing so, we align previously incompatible Wagner and Dollo parsimony principles under a common probabilistic framework by embeddi...
متن کاملLateral transfer in Stochastic Dollo models
Lateral transfer, a process whereby species exchange evolutionary traits through non-ancestral relationships, is a frequent source of model misspecification when inferring species ancestries. Lateral transfer obscures the phylogenetic signal in the data as the histories of affected traits are mosaics of the species phylogeny. We control for the effect of lateral transfer in a Stochastic Dollo m...
متن کاملDuet function in the yellow-naped amazon, Amazona auropalliata: evidence from playbacks of duets and solos.
The question of why animals participate in duets is an intriguing one, as many such displays appear to be more costly to produce than individual signals. Mated pairs of yellow-naped amazons, Amazona auropalliata, give duets on their nesting territories. We investigated the function of those duets with a playback experiment. We tested two hypotheses for the function of those duets: the joint ter...
متن کاملA Parsimonious Approach to Stochastic Mortality Modelling with Dependent Residuals
A standard approach to the fitting of stochastic mortality models is to maximise a likelihood function underpinned by an assumption that deaths follow a conditionally independent Poisson distribution. This, in turn, has led researchers to develop increasingly complex models in an effort to improve in-sample explanatory power. This paper, using the Cairns-BlakeDowd (CBD) model as an example, pro...
