The present paper addresses topics from various fields of biology. Its purpose is to enlarge the understanding of the usage of bioinformatics tools in the phylogenetic analysis of RNA viruses. The paper highlights the benefits of using information technology in virology, bringing the scientific community closer to unraveling the mysteries of RNA virus evolution and their adaptation to different niches and hosts and facilitating the understanding of their rapid mutation processes.

Background: A newly uncovered parvovirus, Chaphamaparvovirus, continues to be reported across various species. This study investigated the detection and genetic characterization of Chaphamaparvovirus galliform (GaChpV) in poultry, specifically broilers and turkeys, from various regions in Türkiye. To address this, comprehensive sampling and analysis were conducted to better understand the virus's distribution and impact in these avian populations.

Understanding the underlying mechanisms that have generated the striking biodiversity inhabiting deep-sea ecosystems remains a challenge in evolutionary biology. Here, we addressed this topic by studying the macroevolutionary dynamics that have shaped the diversification of squaliform sharks, an iconic clade of deep-sea vertebrates. Using phylogenetic comparative methods and fossil-based Bayesian diversification estimates, both at species level, we combined fossil record data with molecular phylogenies to provide a quantitative framework for understanding the evolutionary history of Squaliformes.

Fungal biologists have embraced phylogenies for understanding the biology of this diverse group in an evolutionary framework. In an attempt to highlight lineages of fungi that are distinct from the most speciose subphylum Dikarya (Ascomycota + Basidiomycota), the terms "early diverging fungi [lineages]" and "basal fungi" have been introduced, typically to refer to any phylum of fungi outside Dikarya. However, these terms are problematic, because they implicitly assume that the traits and taxa outside of Dikarya are ancestral by invoking a "ladder of progress.
