somehow completely missed this getting released back in Jan, but this is how I'll be wasting idle time for the foreseeable future, akin to exploring Google Maps

Phylogeny Explorer - Birds of the World
The Phylogeny Explorer offers a captivating experience for exploring avian evolution, discovering closely related species, and grasping the timescales at which they evolved.

Phylogeny is all pretty timey-wimey stuff to be fair.

New lab logos for #FossilFriday!
A circular logo with the words Development Ecology Evolution Phylogeny Time Biology in a green ring around an image that is half eurypterid, half phylogeny, and a series of horseshoe crab growth stages, with the words Lamsdell Lab above and below. A simple version of the logo with the half eurypterid, half phylogeny image next to the words DEEP Time Biology Lab.

The phylogeny hasn't been updated. Maybe it'll happen if I ever get funding and an actual academic job to work on this!

Trick-or-Treat? A Halloween bucket full of fossils to place in that extant only phylogeny 🦕👻🎃

Has the tree been updated? Seems somewhat problematic when I look at the actual phylogeny of various fish groups.

there is a point where getting too into phylogeny feels like a disunification exercise, yeah

With this minimal polarity fragment in hand, we re-examined SOSEKI phylogeny to ask how this region evolved. This helped define SOSEKI orthology groups (9/14)

You know what this calls for?

A phylogeny of the transmission chain!!!

And if these processes are decentralized (which they largely are), it’s hard to say what is replicating, or even being transmitted, outside of a recurring developmental system. Phylogeny fades into a sequence of, and variation between, ontogenies, with no need for such metaphors.

Evolutionary relationships and a Tree-Based Alignment Selector interactive phylogeny of the #emerging lineages of the plant #pathogen #Phytophthora ramorum

Tree-Based Alignment Selector (T-BAS) phylogeny of 12 lineages of Phytophthora ramorum. The maximum likelihood phylogeny (center) was inferredusing concatenated sequences of six nuclear loci (avh120, avh121, btub, gweuk.30.30.1, hsp90, and trp1) and 1,000 bootstrap replicates in IQ-TREE. Colors on the inner ring represent the lineages of P. ramorum as defined in source publications. Colors on the middle ring represent the isolate’s country of origin. Colors on the outer ring represent the host type. Branches are not drawn to scale. Percent bootstrap support is noted on each node.

So turns out that ontogeny does not in fact recapitulate phylogeny. Who knew man. Who knew.

Can hybridization explain the evolution of plumage patterns in black-and-white wagtails?
A reticulated phylogeny provides extra challenges to answer this question.

caption reads "i used to be 'with it.' but then they changed what 'it' was. now, what i'm with isn't "it,' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me. it'll happen to you too!" a grid of fossil kalligrammatid lacewings is saying this while pointing to a phylogeny of extant butterflies.
