Access to whole-genome data means that phylogenetic analysis can now be performed at different genomic levels, such as primary sequences and gene order, allowing for reciprocal corroboration of the results.

We critically review the different kinds of phylogenomic methods currently available, paying particular attention to method reliability.

Our emphasis is on methods for the analysis of primary sequences because these are the most advanced.

We discuss the important issue of statistical inconsistency and show how failing to fully capture the process of sequence evolution in the underlying models leads to tree reconstruction artifacts.

We suggest strategies for detecting and potentially overcoming these problems.

These strategies involve the development of better models, the use of an improved taxon sampling, and the exclusion of phylogenetically misleading data.

Keywords inconsistency, molecular phylogeny, systematic bias, taxon sampling, tree of life.

Species Distribution Models: Ecological Explanation and Prediction Across Space and Time Jane Elith and John R.

Leathwick Vol. 40, 2009 Abstract - Figures - Supplemental Materials Preview Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are numerical tools that combine observations of species occurrence or abundance with environmental estimates.

They are used to gain ecological and evolutionary insights and to predict distributions across landscapes.

Ecological and Evolutionary Responses to Recent Climate Change Camille Parmesan Vol.

Abstract Preview Abstract AbstractEcological changes in the phenology and distribution of plants and animals are occurring in all well-studied marine, freshwater, and terrestrial groups.

These observed changes are heavily biased in the directions predicted from global warming and.
