We're thrilled to welcome Dr Iliana Medina Guzman as a plenary speaker at #ABL2026! 🪲
How do camouflage and warning colours shape the evolution of species? 🦜 Dr Medina Guzman (uni. of Melbourne) combines field experiments, comparative analyses, and evolutionary biology to reveal how antipredator defences influence colonisation, dispersal, and even speciation. 🦋

The manifold hypothesis posits that many high-dimensional datasets actually lie near a low-dimensional manifold. Boyko and Rabosky consider phylogenetic comparative methods, which typically assume a flat, euclidean, morphospace.

Simon et al. compared the role of constraints and selection on function to align micro- and macroevolutionary patterns of hindlimb trait covariation in frogs. They inferred that species tracked jumping performance peaks mostly along lines of least resistance within-species. Read now ahead of print!

Januario et al. found no correlation between sexual selection intensity & speciation rates or proxy traits. Because sexual selection intensity has high intraspecific variation and low phylogenetic signal, its macroevolutionary impacts are weak. Read now!

Good Morning #Evol2023 Interested how to improve inferences of trait dependent #diversification (BiSSE et al.)? Come see my talk on "Causality in SSE Models" in the Symposium "Paving the way to the Phenome" in the Kiva Auditorium from 10:15-10:44 today!

#Evol2023 starts this Friday!
Online meeting is Fri-Sat, June 2-3. It's not too late to sign up: $20 and up (depending on career stage and whether you're a society member).
https://www.evolutionmeetings.org/
Some highlights include great student award talks, a symposium on the misuse of evolutionary biology, #macroevolution, #bioinformatics, and more.
If you think conferences should be online (accessibility, cost, #carbon footprint), PLEASE ATTEND.

Happy to see that the JSE special issue "#Chemical Communication between #Plants and #Insects" is now out https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/17596831/2023/61/3
Check it out! It contains many exciting new articles & reviews on different aspects of this topic.
(Including ours on applying #phylogenetic methods *cough)

@willfreyman and Emma Goldberg. Stay tuned for more! -
New paper led by Jonathan Chu. We found that dispersal distances among North American birds depend on species’ flight efficiency and are negatively correlated with population sizes. This has interesting implications in macroecology, evolution, and conservation.

@pseudacris, Gene Hunt & I wrote about cross-disciplinary insights in @TrendsEcolEvo https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2022.10.013 we hope many will read and discuss with their colleagues/labs. Often we disregard important information/insights from other fields while attempting to make inferences in our own (related) field. We short-change ourselves when we do that -- we can do better when reaching out across fields.
Pls. boost!

#introduction
Hi!I am an #evolution -ary biologist interested in using and developing #phylogenetics software for #macroevolution , recently especially for #adequacy testing of #diversification models.I'm currently a postdoc at Virginia Tech, trying to add insights from my previous work towards #causalinference
for drivers of diversification in order to bridge the gap between micro- and macro-ecology and -evolution.I work on #dungbeetles but love venturing into other systems in collabs.
-
#introduction I'm a biologist studying trait #evolution, #speciation, #extinction, and #systematics, largely through the creation of #foss software for #phylogenetics and #macroevolution, often in #rstats. I work in #Knoxville, #Tennessee. I'm still new to really using mastodon -- my apologies for any missteps, and I appreciate your suggestions!
