IQ-TREE: Novel methods for phylogenetic inference

Description
In this talk I will present three new computational methods for phylogenetics: (i) a fast and accurate model selection approach (ModelFinder), (ii) an effective tree reconstruction (IQ-TREE) and (iii) a novel ultrafast bootstrap (UFBoot). These methods represent three key steps in every phylogenetic analysis. I will then apply advanced mixture models to revisit the once hot debate of Coelomata-Ecdysozoa hypotheses in the basal animal phylogeny.

Australia’s alpine regions are known for their rapidly changing weather, cold, snowy winters, clear running streams and wonderfully unique biodiversity. However, things won’t be this way forever, with future climates predicted to challenge plant communities through warmer soils, more frequent droughts and heatwaves, and potentially greater exposure to frost as snow cover declines.
