    Abstract Systematists have access to multiple sources of character information in phylogenetic analysis. For example, it is not unusual to have nucleotide sequences from several different genes, or to have molecular and morphological data. How should diverse data be analyzed in phylogenetic analysis? Several methods have been proposed for the treatment of partitioned data: the total evidence, separate analysis, and conditional combination approaches. Here, we review some of the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches, with special concentration on which methods help us to discern the evolutionary process and provide the most accurate estimates of phylogeny.

    Abstract Although long-branch attraction, the incorrect grouping of long lineages in a phylogeny because of systematic error, has been identified as a potential source of error in phylogenetic analysis for almost two decades, no empirical examples of the phenomenon exist. Here, I outline several criteria for identifying long-branch attraction and apply these criteria to 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence data for 13 insects. Parsimony and minimum evolution with p distances group the two longest branches together (those leading to Strepsiptera and Diptera). Simulation studies show that the long branches are long enough to attract. When a tree is assumed in which Strepsiptera and Diptera are separated and many data sets are simulated for that tree (using the parameter estimates for that tree for the original data), parsimony analysis of the simulated data consistently groups Strepsiptera and Diptera. Analyses of the 18S rDNA sequences using methods that are less sensitive to the problem of long-branch attraction estimate trees in which the long branches are separate.

    Abstract The robustness (sensitivity to violation of assumptions) of the maximum-likelihood and neighbor-joining methods was examined using simulation. Maximum likelihood and neighbor joining were implemented with Jukes-Cantor, Kimura, and gamma models of DNA substitution. Simulations were performed in which the assumptions of the methods were violated to varying degrees on three model four-taxon trees. The performance of the methods was evaluated with respect to ability to correctly estimate the unrooted four-taxon tree. Maximum likelihood outperformed neighbor joining in 29 of the 36 cases in which the assumptions of both methods were satisfied. In 133 of 180 of the simulations in which the assumptions of the maximum-likelihood and neighbor-joining methods were violated, maximum likelihood outperformed neighbor joining. These results are consistent with a general superiority of maximum likelihood over neighbor joining under comparable conditions. They extend and clarify an earlier study that found an advantage for neighbor joining over maximum likelihood for gamma-distributed mutation rates.

    Abstract Identifying positively selected amino acid sites is an important approach for making inference about the function of proteins; an amino acid site that is undergoing positive selection is likely to play a key role in the function of the protein. We present a new Bayesian method for identifying positively selected amino acid sites and apply the method to a data set of hemagglutinin sequences from the Influenza virus. We show that the results of the new methods are in accordance with results obtained using previous methods. More importantly, we also demonstrate how the method can be used for making further inferences about the evolutionary history of the sequences. For example, we demonstrate that sites that are positively selected tend to have a preponderance of conservative amino acid substitutions.

    Abstract Several methods have been proposed to infer the states at the ancestral nodes on a phylogeny. These methods assume a specific tree and set of branch lengths when estimating the ancestral character state. Inferences of the ancestral states, then, are conditioned on the tree and branch lengths being true. We develop a hierarchical Bayes method for inferring the ancestral states on a tree. The method integrates over uncertainty in the tree, branch lengths, and substitution model parameters by using Markov chain Monte Carlo. We compare the hierarchical Bayes inferences of ancestral states with inferences of ancestral states made under the assumption that a specific tree is correct. We find that the methods are correlated, but that accommodating uncertainty in parameters of the phylogenetic model can make inferences of ancestral states even more uncertain than they would be in an empirical Bayes analysis.

    Abstract Bacteriophage of the family Leviviridae have played an important role in molecular biology where representative species, such as Q beta and MS2, have been studied as model systems for replication, translation, and the role of secondary structure in gene regulation. Using nucleotide sequences from the coat and replicase genes we present the first statistical estimate of phylogeny for the family Leviviridae using maximum-likelihood and Bayesian estimation. Our analyses reveal that the coliphage species are a monophyletic group consisting of two clades representing the genera Levivirus and Allolevivirus. The Pseudomonas species PP7 diverged from its common ancestor with the coliphage prior to the ancient split between these genera and their subsequent diversification. Differences in genome size, gene composition, and gene expression are shown with a high probability to have changed along the lineage leading to the Allolevivirus through gene expansion. The change in genome size of the Allolevivirus ancestor may have catalyzed subsequent changes that led to their current genome organization and gene expression.

    Abstract All current phylogenetic methods assume that DNA substitutions are independent among sites. However, ample empirical evidence suggests that the process of substitution is not independent but is, in fact, temporally and spatially correlated. The robustness of several commonly used phylogenetic methods to the assumption of independent substitution is examined. A compound Poisson process is used to model DNA substitution. This model assumes that substitution events are Poisson-distributed in time and that the number of substitutions associated with each event is geometrically distributed. The asymptotic properties of phylogenetic methods do not appear to change under a compound Poisson process of DNA substitution. Moreover, the rank order of the performance of different methods does not change. However, all phylogenetic methods become less efficient when substitution follows a compound Poisson process.
