In phylogenetics, long branch attraction (LBA) is a form of systematic error whereby distantly related lineages are incorrectly inferred to be closely...

be a class of systematic errors in phylogenetic analysis called "long branch attraction". Perty, M. 1852. Zur Kenntnis kleinster Lebensformen nach Bau,...

phylogenetics, saturation effects result in long branch attraction, where the most distant lineages have misleadingly short branch lengths. It also decreases phylogenetic...

parsimony can be inconsistent under certain conditions, such as long-branch attraction. Of course, any phylogenetic algorithm could also be statistically...

questioned, with other studies suggesting that this likely represents a long branch attraction artefact. Mites are tiny members of the class Arachnida; most are...

with mites and ticks, which the authors considered may be due to long branch attraction. The addition of Scorpiones to produce a clade called Arachnopulmonata...

rodents. Support for rodent polyphyly appears to be a product of long branch attraction. Hystricomorph rodents appeared in South America in the Eocene,...

The cause of the disparity in the analyses is suggested to be the long branch attraction effect in phylogenetic analysis, due to rapidly evolving DNA regions...

basal placement may be caused by high mutation rates leading to long branch attraction (LBA). These analyses suggest that the xenacoelomorphs are instead...

rate of the included phyla, which can lead to the artifact of the long branch attraction (LBA) where the lineages are grouped basally or artificially at...
