Assessing the Global and Local Uncertainty of Scientific Evidence in the Presence of Model Misspecification

Mark L. Taper et al.

Summary: Scientists compare model support based on observed phenomena and quantify evidence strength, exploring evidence uncertainty. Non-parametric bootstrap methodologies are developed to estimate the sampling distribution of evidence estimator under model misspecification, improving scientific inference.

Evidence for sponges as sister to all other animals from partitioned phylogenomics with mixture models and recoding

Anthony K. Redmond et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates significant progress in partitioned phylogenomic analysis by using site-heterogeneous models and amino acid recoding to alleviate branching artefacts caused by systematic errors. The reanalysis of key datasets shows that partitioned phylogenomics does not support comb jellies as sister to other animals. Branching artefacts can confound the reconstruction of deep evolutionary relationships.

Rooting the Animal Tree of Life

Yuanning Li et al.

Summary: This study examines the debate over whether sponges or comb jellies are the most distant animal relatives, with a focus on the extensive differences in analyses that have led to inconsistent results. By synthesizing previous studies and conducting new analyses under standardized conditions, it is found that the recovery of comb jellies as the most distant relatives is consistent across various conditions, while sponges are recovered under specific conditions with the use of site-heterogeneous CAT models. The study also highlights the skepticism that should be applied to sponge-sister results due to the narrow conditions in which they are recovered and the lack of significant fit compared to other models recovering comb jelly-sister.
