Interspecific differences in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and indels in expressed sequence tag libraries of oil palm Elaeis guineensis and E. oleifera
Oil palm is the second largest source of edible oil, which meets one-fifth of global demands of oils and fats. Expressed sequence tag (EST) sequencing programs have provided a wealth of information…

Primate phylogeny: molecular evidence for a pongid clade excluding humans and a prosimian clade containing tarsiers
Interpretations of molecular data by the modern evolution theory are often sharply inconsistent with paleontological results. This is to be expected since the theory is only true for microevolutio…

Frequency-dependent selection predicts patterns of radiations and biodiversity
Most empirical studies support a decline in speciation rates through time, although evidence for constant speciation rates also exists. Declining rates have been explained by invoking niche-filling…
