RE: https://mastodon.green/@plazi_species/116260383338896477

#Endemic #species are always interesting from different perspectives, e.g. from an #evolutionary and #ecological point of view. This also applies to #skinks of the genus
#Madascincus, being with several known species endemic to #Madagascar.
A. Miralles et al. (2026) described based on #multilocus #phylogenetics and #morphology two #newspecies:
M. #irery and M.
#minotaurus, with restricted distributions to limited areas of Madagascar only.

Is there something analogous to #ClintReptiles but for #botany? I want someone to explain me the #plant branch of the tree of life while telling how much they love it, clade by clade.

Fresh WIP piece of #Archaea #phylogenetics data for a collaborator.

Those barplot margins are driving me crazy - it's actually throwing off the immediate impression of the data! (pink bars are essentially all 1/2 or less of the orange bars, which is pretty important in context) I really need to buckle down and get to hand-coding my trees from scratch using #rlang or #julialang soon.

Hmm. How's Julia ecosystem for phylogenetic trees these days?

#microbiology #bioinformatics

Derkarabetian et al. developed a metazoan ultraconserved element probe set, providing a resource for multiple research groups working on vastly different animal lineages.

Question for #microbiology folks. I've been mulling over a phylogenetic tree building methods comparison, and could use a recommendation on a particularly well resolved microbial/archaeal taxon as a positive control (I'd prefer the latter).

Any recommendation would be appreciated!

🥂 🐌 First paper out from our Cuba-UK collaboration 🐌🥂. We used mtDNA and rRNA sequences to place beautiful Polymita snails in a phylogeny. Basically, they are basal to a whole bunch of other important and diverse snail groups. https://academic.oup.com/mollus/article/91/2/eyaf006/8173425

There's an obvious #paperthemetune, the "Polymita song", by collaborator Norvis Hernandez and others. https://youtu.be/1srl4_JI_Fs?si=G3Z5bVLCDWR554nl #snails #mtDNA #phylogenetics #UoN

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!

Sister group (Evolutionary biology 🧬)

In phylogenetics, a sister group or sister taxon, also called an adelphotaxon, comprises the closest relative of another given unit in an evolutionary tree.

A classic, my first paper on #beech #genetics getting a RG-#milestone: 1000 reads for "The #evolutionary history of #Fagus in western Eurasia: Genes, morphology and the #fossil record" RG added #reticulate #evolution, suppressed #speciation, could say that.

Low impact? Enduring research still (obviously) worth a read over 20 yrs later 😎

PS Still happy with it. But wouldn't just use a tree anymore for #phylogenetics

I'm hiring a #postdoc, for #bioinformatics work on amino acid substitution models. I think they are key for understanding biophysics of selection on #proteins, #mutation patterns, and #AncientLife, as well as improving #phylogenetics methods. https://evol.mcmaster.ca/brian/evoldir/PostDocs//UArizona.AminoAcidSubstitutionModels #ScienceJobs #evolution @jobsecoevo

Can't get enough of #floral #phylogenetics?
💐Same!
Today we're looking at #phylotranscriptomics of Swertiinae (#Gentianaceae), and the revelation that key floral traits are not #phylogenetically correlated.

#OldPosts trilogy time (still working on 3rd pt of my maple phylogenomics post). #Phylogenetics, or #Phylogenomics, is not just blackboxes, give your data a closer look using #Phylonetworks. Ex. in my 2019 "Why the emperor has no clothes on" miniseries

#3: Conflict or not?—https://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2019/11/why-emporer-has-no-clothes-on-conflict.html

@biodatacore That's easy to answer: Whatever you can get or have.
Then you feed it to Phytia, to see if you need more. Or go beyond simple tree-inference.

In Biology, you'll always have too little data. But any data can tell you something re: #phylogenetics, if analysed properly.
5 mutating patterns may be all you need, pending the question and known background. Ex. #OldPosts https://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2019/02/can-we-depict-evolution-of-highly.html
