Come explore the frontier of PCM with us! @mpiresbr2 and I host the symposium “What we can and cannot know through current and upcoming Phylogenetic Comparative Methods” at the joint @Evol_mtg in Montréal and want your views in that discussion! #evolution #phylo #PCM #Evol2024

#Macroevolutionary perspective on plant #scent and #plant_insect_interactions! Now online and will be open access soon! A great team to work with! @orlando_schwery @Breanna_Sipley @mpiresbr2 Yan Yang @RobertoRebolloH
We did a thing: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Working on #plant-#insect interactions & floral volatiles? Interested in adding #macroevolution #phylogenetics? Perhaps our review could serve as a good entry-point! With @Breanna_Sipley @mpiresbr2 Yan Yang @RobertoRebolloH & @PengjuanZ

Our new paper out: An artificial intelligence approach to remotely assess pale lichen biomass - in RSE. doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2022.1… Authors from @NINAforskning @Framcentre @EMERALDNorway @BUEarth @PKU1898 @LukeFinlandInt @HELSINKISUS @UniEastFinland. A thread (1/7)

Happy to share our new study with @HMorlon & @bayesiancook. We introduce Birth-Death Diffusion models where lineage-specific diversification rates diffuse continuously, providing a complete and fine-grained picture of a phylogeny’s diversification history doi.org/10.1101/2022.08.09.5…

So you want to know what's going on with climate change, but AR6 WGII is a whopping 3,675 pages. How do you read an #ipcc report? Five easy steps:

New manuscript from my PhD student @luizafabreti. We explored if model over-parameterization biases phylogenetic inference. Our results: Posterior distributions are identical between the true and over-parameterized model. doi.org/10.1101/2022.02.17.4…

The third talk in our series on evolutionary ecology will be from @mpiresbr2 on Tues, Feb 22nd at 9am PT: "From ancestral states to ancestral ecological networks"
Thank you also to Mariana for co-organizing this session!

Next talk coming up in less than 12 hours: @ChrisWWheat on "Using genomes to connect macroevolutionary patterns with their causes: color evolution in Colias butterflies". Watch it at youtube.com/watch?v=dyIKQOsi…

My #ERCStG Project MacDrive focuses on building phylogenies with extant & extinct taxa to study which factors (environmental and/or species-specific) drive diversification rates. I'll advertise several PhD + Postdoc positions later this year. DM me anytime if you are interested.

The next group of talks is on evolutionary ecology, with talks from Mariana Braga (@mpiresbr2) on Jan 11, Chris Wheat (su.se/english/profiles/cwhea…) on Jan 25, and Wade Dismukes (@wadedismukes) on Feb 8, all at 9am PT. See phyloseminar.org for details.

Now accepted at Ecology Letters on a subject near and dear to my heart: Do we find functional matching between plant and animal traits at global scales, and if so what does that mean? bit.ly/30IJz4E

I'm looking for a PhD student to work on landscape genomics of lizards (genus Gallotia) endemic to the Canary Islands.
Awesome organisms, fantastic location and fascinating questions to be studied.
DM for details. Please RT.

Now online #OA! Our paper on the use of museomics to place rare taxa in the Tree of Life is out now in @Systematic_Ent! Paper led by @VTwort, and great collaboration with @ChrisWWheat and Joël Minet. Very excited by this one!

It is hard to believe that we just published #ChecklistButterfliesColombia 3642 species (1/5 of the world’s🦋).Mission accomplished BUT much more to do. KimGarwood, JuanGJaramillo, @IndianaCristo @DrButterflyH @NHM_Science butterflycatalogs.com/checkl… #Colombia #freebook #butterflies

We just published the largest butterfly genome to date, Parnassius apollo, at ~1.4 Gb ... roughly 3 times larger than most other Leps. GO team apollo! @LPodsiadlowski,@Kallekarlhugo and Marianne Espeland. ONT sequencing was magic!!!!
