Its immediate sequel will offer a census of all known copies (the first attempted since Sir Sidney Lee's in 1902, and a good deal more ambitious in scope), and, as the definitive source of information about the condition, provenance, binding and whereabouts of each extant specimen of F1, it will presumably be seized on at once as the bible of the up-market contract book thief.

We then calculated the number of required RASs to achieve full coverage of extant sequences at divergence levels of 5, 10 and 15%; that is, when each extant sequence diverges by less than the chosen threshold from at least one ancestral sequence (Fig. 4).

Strand specificity was inferred from pairwise comparison of each extant species to its ancestral sequence.

Each extant species (tree leaf) also constitutes a cluster referred to as a singleton.

Relative brain mass on body mass for each species (extant or extinct) was calculated as residual values using the regression equation (see below).

Given the high species richness of this family (~ 542 species) and the lack of an appropriate taxonomic framework, it is not possible to account for the phylogenetic position of each unsampled extant species or all possible lineages.

Estimates of the absolute rate of amino acid evolution and synonymous site evolution for each subunit were obtained using the "tip procedure", which uses the average number of amino acid substitutions per site along unique paths from each tip (extant sequence) to a dated speciation event (allowing us to avoid pseudoreplication of rate estimates).

The two ancestral lineages represented in each of the extant allopolyploid species are estimated as having diverged from each other within the Arabidopsis clade approximately eight million years ago [ 22, 24].

In this way, we performed independent tests on each of the extant cetacean lineages (orca, minke, and bowhead), as well as testing each ancestral cetacean branch (the MRCA of the two baleen whales and the MRCA of all three cetaceans), to determine if there were signatures of positive selection that are unique to each lineage (Yang and dos Reis, 2011).
