Bayesian inference of species trees using diffusion models
We describe a new and computationally efficient Bayesian methodology for inferring species trees and demographics from unlinked binary markers. Likelihood calculations are carried out using diffusion models of allele frequency dynamics combined with a new algorithm for numerically computing likelihoods of quantitative traits. The diffusion approach allows for analysis of datasets containing hundreds or thousands of individuals. The method, which we call \snapper, has been implemented as part of the Beast2 package. We introduce the models, the efficient algorithms, and report performance of \snapper on simulated data sets and on SNP data from rattlesnakes and freshwater turtles.

Efficient Bayesian species tree inference under the multi-species coalescent
A method was developed for Bayesian inference of species phylogeny using the multi-species coalescent model. To improve the mixing properties of the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm that traverses the space of s…
Bayesian InferenceSplit probabilities and species tree inference under the multispecies coalescent model
Using topological summaries of gene trees as a basis for species tree inference is a promising approach to obtain acceptable speed on genomic-scale datasets, and to avoid some undesirable modeling assumptions. Here we st…
Approximate Bayesian computation for Markovian binary trees in phylogenetics
Phylogenetic trees describe the relationships between species in the evolutionary process, and provide information about the rates of diversification. To understand the mechanisms behind macroevolution, we consider a cla…
Non-hereditary Minimum Deep Coalescence trees
One of the goals of phylogenetic research is to find the species tree describing the evolutionary history of a set of species. But the trees derived from geneti data with the help of tree inference methods are gene trees…
Species tree inference from genomic sequences using the log-det distance
The log-det distance between two aligned DNA sequences was introduced as a tool for statistically consistent inference of a gene tree under simple non-mixture models of sequence evolution. Here we prove that the log-det …
