The gene tree delusion.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Jan 2016

Springer Mark S, Gatesy John

Abstract excerpt

Higher-level relationships among placental mammals are mostly resolved, but several polytomies remain contentious. Song et al. (2012) claimed to have resolved three of these using shortcut coalescence methods (MP-EST, STAR) and further concluded that these methods, which assume no within-locus recombination, are required to unravel deep-level phylogenetic problems that have stymied concatenation. Here, we...
