#phylogenies
chuds: there are only two genders
Also chuds: there are eighty distinct phylogenies and psychometric groups of men
it’s so beautiful how joe rogan guys invented their own astrology

Interesting for epidemiology as well as macroevolution and biogeography.

Incredibly excited to share that our manuscript was just published in @nature.com ! What a way to start the new year! 🎉

We present phylowave, a framework that enables to learn the fitness dynamics of pathogens from phylogenies.

Very excited to learn I was awarded an OU Junior Faculty Fellowship! Looking forward to working on a project involving fossils, molecular phylogenies, and the coolest crinoid lineage in the history of life!

Fantastic demonstration of the power of comparative genomics across large phylogenies to discover the mechanistic basis of a convergently evolved trait, hibernation

"our estimated mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies were similar to those published previously"

RECORD SCRATCH

well hold the FUCK on, that's not what y'all have been saying in your media blitz??????????????

And should a biologist find themselves without themed wears? Many a booth offer adornments for the wayward and tired biologist!

Cool study. On a separate note, wow we need more (and larger) phylogenies of invertebrate clades
Diversification rate shifts are everywhere. Analyses of phylogenies covering >300k species reveal widespread changes in speciation dynamics across the Tree of Life.

I've built some initial Nextstrain phylogenies of the Andes Hantavirus variant, which include the sequence generated by HUG & UniZurich, Switzerland.
Please interpret with caution.

Getting excited... for #FossilFriday ! Our Morrison Ankylosaur monograph may be published online in a week. Hopefully, this will lead to a fix in many ankylosaur phylogenies. A dozen known Morrison ankylosaur sites spanning 4 states. Who would have think it 35 years ago?

So exciting to see a new method to model the evolution of G (and P) matrices on phylogenies. Another step in the direction of trying to bridge micro and macroevolution

New paper out from @hoehna.bsky.social Lab, led by the brilliant @bjorntko.bsky.social! We applied the Pesto software (Kopperud & Höhna, 2025) to look at lineage-specific shifts in diversification rate on large, densely-sampled phylogenies across the Tree of Life doi.org/10.1093/evle...

Not exactly what your after but I think this is great discussion of what phylogenies do / don't tell us in CE.

🎂 Happy 10th birthday to the fossilised birth-death model, and happy 50th birthday to Paleobiology 🎂
I had a lot of fun working on this review, led by @lauramulvey.bsky.social, in which we celebrate how the FBD has been applied and give pointers to those interested in giving it a go! 🌳

Important article on the practices of article writing, submission and troublesome reproducibility of the fossil vertebrate phylogenies.
In my view, most see phylogenies as eternally provisionary and probabilistic pictures.

My ANDV #Hantavirus @nextstrain.org phylogenies now pull directly from @pathoplexus.org to incorporate all seqs

I'll continue to improve them, & will keep them updated

How do genetic variances and covariances evolve over deep time? This paper unifies quantitative genetics and macroevolution with analytical models for G-matrix evolution on phylogenies, enabling new tests of multivariate trait evolution.
