An interesting scientific paper on #Gilliesieae (#Amaryllidaceae), which have a limited distribution in #Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The authors N. García and Miersia (2026) describe four #newspecies of genera #Gilliesia and #Miersia. All species are found only in specific regions of Chile and are therefore #endemic. The authors also amplified and sequenced #DNA sequences to reconstruct the #phylogenetic positions of the new species. #Biodiversityresearch

That would have been enough for a #phylogenetic #ResearchPaper. But one problem with classic German coauthors is that we don't scratch surfaces.

A new animal was found. A British researcher writes a half-page abstract a month later: The elephant, a new animal from Africa.
One year later, a French writes a 5 pp. long paper, content: The elephant, a new animal from Africa.
Five years later a 500 pp. German book is published: The Elephant. Part 1: Its trunk.

Amazing things we can learn about #LUCA (last universal common ancestor) by #phylogenetic analysis, e.g. it already had a rudimentary immune system.

To address 3 key questions regarding #torpor #evolution, we compiled a #dataset of a) torpor capabilities and b) 21 ecophysiological variables for 1,338 species of #mammals and #birds.

We then analysed this dataset using a series of #phylogenetic comparative methods.

This one has been a bit of a journey, but thanks to lead author Dan Turck's expertise on #conifers it has turned out as quite the treasure-trove of conifer #Evolution !
