Positively selected amino acid replacements within the RuBisCO enzyme of oak trees are associated with ecological adaptations.
Phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood (PAML) has become the standard approach to study positive selection at the molecular level, but other methods may provide complementary ways to identify amino acid replacements associated with particular conditions. Here, we compare results of the decision...
