Phylogenetic tree diagrams form the basis of understanding microbial evolution. Long branches between the two domains in some trees may reflect a period of very rapid evolution, billions of years ago.

Phylogenetic distances are calculated from the updated phylogenetic tree R2G2_20140601 (Supplementary Information). The regression takes the form of logit(S) = ...

As an example of the use of these indices in community analysis, I compared the mean observed net relatedness of trees (≥10 cm diameter at breast height) in each of 28 plots (each 0.16 ha) in a ...
