New #preprint!
We introduce PSS (Phenotype Shift Scores), a method that compares continuous phenotypes—such as body or brain mass—across every pair of species in a phylogeny, while accounting for their evolutionary distance. #Evolution #ComparativeGenomics

Well, it's a small wild cat in the genus Leopardus and a member of the tiger cat species complex, but it is NOT a tigrina, oncilla, kodkod, Geoffroy's cat...

New #preprint : we introduce Phenotype Shift Scores (PSS), a pairwise framework for locating exceptional phenotypic differentiation across a phylogeny. Across 153 primate traits, morphology shows deeper-than-expected shifts.

Has AI solved the Navier–Stokes problem? Not quite. The crucial ideas came from mathematicians, while LLMs helped extend and verify them. AI may transform mathematical research, but the hype obscures the leading role of humans. (below is my drawing, not AI) www.science.org/content/arti...
