🔍 Why it matters: Xiphosurids (horseshoe crabs) are often called “living fossils” for their apparent #morphological #conservatism. But early forms like 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘶𝘴 had #extreme features—hypertrophied genal spines and reduced thoracetrons—previously hypothesized as #adaptations to non-marine habitats. #LivingFossils

A major #update to my #collection of #morphological #matrices worthy to infer #networks:
a bunch of matrices we generated and reanalysed for a paper by S. Renner, D. Sokoloff, and me dealing with ancestors, hard polytomies and seed plant evolution; depicted not as the usual cladograms (where ancestor-descendant pairs must trigger unsolvable hard trichotomies) but as a "Romerogram" (or spindle graph) that shows #dichotomy as well as #buddingEvolution, i.e., #phylogeny -
🎉Good news for the next #family reunion!🌼
Chen et al. provide an updated classification for the hyper-diverse genus #Corydalis based on #phylogenomic and #morphological evidence.

Here comes the #Introduction. I am a postdoc original from #Colombia interested in #insects, #evodevo #genetics 🧬 and #patterning.
I work with butterfly 🦋 color patterns as a model to study #wnt #signaling, #generegulation, and #morphological evolution. Connecting the #genotype to the #phenotype is the goal!!!
I am a #Latina, working at GWU, in DC. #FirstGen
Done tons of #CRISPR experiments in different species of #Lepidoptera
