This week we will discuss a paper that estimates the phylogeny of closely related species (ursine bears) and deals with complexities caused by incomplete lineage soring and ongoing gene flow:

Kutschera VE, Bidon T, Hailer F, Rodi JL, Fain SR, Janke A. 2014. Bears in a forest of gene trees: Phylogenetic inference is complicated by incomplete lineage sorting and gene flow. Molecular Biology and Evolution.

Meet at University House, in Graduate Lounge, at 5:30 pm

Coopers and Cladistics is a long-running evolutionary biology discussion group held every second Thursday at University House, ANU. Please contact Mike Crisp if you would like to be included on the C&C email list.
