When @omearabrian.bsky.social saw the manuscript, he described it as: ‘What if this figure could be an entire paper?’
I choose to interpret that as high praise.
Now accepted at AmNat: The geometry of macroevolution (with Dan Rabosky). www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

We have exciting new rhetorical tactics emerging around this stuff! It's important to recognize them and call them out.
This is very similar to a creationist approach. No amount of "microevolution" is "macroevolution", and therefore evolution isn't real.

What would happen if Darwin, Russell Wallace and Koch walked into a bar?
We present our new way to study mycobacteria, employing a macroevolution framework (species not strains). Possibilities are endless!! Thanks to Fernanda Subtil for pushing this.

A macroevolution-inspired approach to reveal novel antibiotic resistance mechanisms
Using macroevolution, species not strains, uncovered important diversity in how mycobacteria respond to and resist antibiotics, revealing novel resistance determinants.
