Guillerme, T. and Cooper, N. (2016) Effects of missing data on topological inference using a Total Evidence approach. Mol. Phylogenet. Evol. 94, 146–158
This week Tauana Cunha will be leading our discussion on the robustness of the Total Evidence approach to inferring phylogenies in respect to missing data:
"For this week I chose a paper that uses simulations to investigate the effects of missing data (morphology) from extant and fossil species in total evidence phylogenies. The results seem promising for phylogenies with incomplete data for fossils, which is almost always the case, and hopefully will generate a good discussion."
We will be meeting at our new regular time and place: 11 am in the MCZ Labs 4th floor Seminar Room, where coffee and snacks will be plentiful.
