#phylogenies — Public Fediverse posts

Following a marvelous time at ISBA11 and our PAASTA conference, we're back to sharing the work of our community with you here! @ipatramanis.bsky.social PAASTA talk from March about PaleoProPhyler a tool for #phylogenies from ancient proteins is now live on our YouTube youtu.be/2gVEQyinL4A

As science teachers using NGSS, we don't just teach facts. We use storylines to connect facts into a larger picture. A fun way to get students interested in evolution can be to use clips from fun science fiction movies.

Many kids have seen the Tremors series of movies, featuring the fictional animal, Graboids. While fictional, we can ask - if they were real, how could they have evolved? With careful observation and Socratic questioning we inspire students to posit what form of life they could have evolved from - in doing so we cover natural selection, convergent evolution, and clades and phylogenies!

"Time-calibrated molecular #phylogenies have suggested that this genus originated in the #Caribbean in the Early #Oligocene and then colonized Central America in the Middle #Miocene. Here, we describe the first records of pre-Quaternary fossils referred to #Eleutherodactylus from Florida."

To know where we're going, we need to know where we've been.

Introductory video on how to read #phylogenies with 5 practice exercises at the end.

Some wording could be improved, but I wanted to get this out!

Should be a good subject for those new to #évolution or want a refresher for how to read phylogenetic trees!

New from #JIPB! Hu et al. reveal #genome-scale #angiosperm #phylogenies based on #nuclear, #plastome, & #mitochondrial datasets. They go on to discuss #evolutionary trajectories and speak to the issue of addressing inconsistencies.

Where do people get their family-level #phylogenies from? I'm using OTT (via rotl) but a few larger fish families like Gobiidae are polyphyletic in OTT so I won't get them in a family-level phylogeny.
I'd still like to have them with the caveat that their placement is iffy
