baltic v1.0.0 is live! Get it via pip or clone from Github repo. Now with documentation (baltic.readthedocs.io) & a gallery of tutorials & examples (phylo-baltic.github.io/baltic-gallery, still WIP). Huge thanks to @barney-potter.bsky.social for all the initiative & help along the way. #ViroSky

Paleo folks: Please recommend researchers (incl yourselves) interested in phylogenetic reconstruction in deep time, molecular clocks (discord w/ fossil clocks), foundational/methodological issues in phylo/paleo-reconstruction & who'd be interested in hanging w/ historians & philosophers of science ⚒️

A reminder for phylo folks - you can't review an empirical phylo paper if you can't see the alignments. Insist that authors make them accessible through Dryad/Figshare/Zenodo.
*Everything* in a phylo analysis assumes the alignments are true (or at least, good enough)!

Those interested in performing maximum likelihood phylogenomic analysis on data sets made up of eukaryotic nuclear genes using site heterogeneous mixture models like C60, I suggest you use the ELM model in IQ-TREE instead of the LG model /1

Really good summary of our work on poricidal anthers! I am printing this phylo in a big poster!

Repeated evolution of flowers specialized for buzz pollination | Plantae
If you’ve ever looked closely at a tomato flower, you might have noticed that its anthers cluster together in the center of the flower, making the pollen inaccessible to most insects.

Modeling site-and-branch-heterogeneity with GFmix
