  1. When editors of Q1-Journals leave the editing business to AI.

    #BMCGenomics sending out a paper for review based on three, one per species, complete plastomes "[revealing] #Phylogenetic conflict [and] #reticulate evolution in #Quercus section Cerris subsection Campylolepides: Evidence from chloroplast genomes and its biogeographic implications (researchers from Shanghai Institute of Technology)

  2. RE: mastodon.green/@plazi_species/

    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

  3. Took a while, but finally out:

    Pruning the Tree: Comparing #OTUs and #ASVs in High-Throughput Sequencing of 5S-IGS Nuclear Ribosomal DNA in #Phylogenetic Studies

    How to reduced 100ks of reads down to the 100 really needed, a comparison between #Mothur and #dada2 pipelines using our nigh-#reticulate #beech dataset as test subject

    doi.org/10.1002/ece3.72242

  4. 🆕 “High #phylogenetic distance between non-native #species and the recipient community increases #invasion success.”

    - the formal definition #invasion #scientists propose in structured format for #Darwin’s #naturalisation hypothesis.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 🚨New #phylogenetic paper alert!🚨
    🌲+🔥= speciation?
    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 !

  8. Our new #preprint is out
    Cardoni et al. Pruning the tree: Comparing OTUs and ASVs for processing HTS 5S-IGS data
    doi.org/10.22541/au.173437938.

    Organising 100k of reads per studied sample (5S #rDNA intergenic spacers) into a handier amount of tips (~100) for #phylogenetic inferences and assessing #biodiversity

  9. An #epizootic of highly pathogenic avian #influenza virus #H7N3 in a #Mexican ecological #reserve, Arch Virol.: link.springer.com/article/10.1

    #Phylogenetic #analysis revealed that the HPAI H7N3 virus detected in affected birds shared a close genetic relationship with Mexican H7N3 isolates from 2012.

  10. #Phylogenetic Characterization of Novel #Reassortant 2.3.4.4b #H5N8 Highly Pathogenic Avian #Influenza Viruses Isolated from Domestic #Ducks in #Egypt During the Winter Season 2021–2022

    Source: Viruses, AbstractAvian influenza (AI) is an extremely contagious viral disease of domestic and wild birds that can spread rapidly among bird populations, inducing serious economic losses in the poultry industry. During the winter season 2021–2022, we isolated seventeen highly…
