Bacterial phylogenetic reconstruction from whole genomes is robust to recombination but demographic inference is not by Hedge, J, Wilson, DJ

“…Since many researchers continue to use phylogenetics for recombining bacteria, it is important to understand how recombination affects the conclusions drawn from these analyses. We find that whole-genome sequences afford great accuracy in reconstructing evolutionary relationships despite concerns surrounding the presence of recombination, but the branch lengths of the phylogenetic tree are indeed badly distorted. …”

Unveiling the importance of longer paths in quantum networks by Hu, X, Dong, G, Lambiotte, R, Christensen, K, Fan, J, Tian, Z, Havlin, S, Meng, X

“…Here, we apply statistical physics to identify the origin of this stronger connectivity—known as concurrence percolation. Our finding is demonstrated on hierarchical scale-free networks, the (U,V) flowers, which allow full analytical control over path connectivity by adjusting the two distinct path length scales, U ≤ V. …”

Why do Chinese firms go public abroad and how do they perform? by Yuan, Mengying

“…Next, we compare the performance of listed firms in the Hong Kong, United States, and A-share markets based on statistical analysis. The main finding is that overseas-listed companies do not perform better than A-share listed firms, but they are more likely to conduct M&A activities, financial investments, and bond issuance in currencies other than RMB. …”
