`A new species, Chlorocytus papahemii sp. nov. (Pteromalidae), a hyperparasitoid of E. curculionum, is described from China. Illustrations and a detailed morphological description of the new species, as well as a redescription of the types of related Chlorocytus species, are provided. ` http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1279.188643

Deyi Wang et al. revealed that the #EctomycorrhizalFungal communities in alpine pine forests are shaped jointly by evolutionary history and environmental filtering at the regional scale on the #Qinghai_TibetanPlateau.

at the risk of competing with #ClamFacts, check out the latest Skype A Scientist merch: a T-shirt full of SHRIMP (& friends) FACTS :shromp:

Didelot et al. present the R package DiagnoDating for diagnosing issues in a reconstructed dated phylogeny, including outlier detection, posterior predictive checking and residual analysis.

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 -

#PhylogeneticConservatism sustains stable associations across #Pinaceae genera (#Ectomycorrhiza), while environmental filtering drives species-specific community differentiation at local scales on the #Qinghai_TibetanPlateau.

Single-blind #PeerReview strikes again. Reviewer revealing himself to the coauthors of a paper 1 week after submission threatening to reject it, unless he becomes a coauthor.
Now they are negotiating a deal to avoid having to redo everything.
Wondering also, why a method-focussed paper (new approach) submitted to a journal dedicated to molecular #phylogeny is reviewed by somebody who knows the organism but has very little experience in (phylo)genetics
Have to love single blind.

So much for strict #OpenData policies. Paper published in 2021 in New Phytologist, data matrix: "... is accessible to readers in #Morphobank, project # 3917. We have enabled anonymous login."
https://www.morphobank.org/myprojects/3917/overview
Anonymous login works (first pic), "Project disc usage: 0 bytes". Which happens to be exactly the number of linked matrices under the project (2nd pic)
Deleted the data after review? Avoid anyone else can (mis)use it.

Ok I'd actually love to hear people's take on this one. Vigorous skepticism about inferred trees (based on alignments) that eventually also require manual adjustment, and what that means for phylogeny is a curiously often encountered conversation for me these days.

Zhang et al. present NeuralNJ, an accurate and efficient approach to phylogenetic inference whose innovation lies in its learnable neighbor joining mechanism, which iteratively joins neighbors guided by learned priority scores for tree reconstruction.

#Sponges are back at the root of the animal tree! I knew the cnidarians-as-root hypothesis was just too hard justify given the sum total of evidence.

200 isn't really a #milestone (wouldn't that be 1000?), but not a bad number of reads for a #preprint of a paper deemed not fit for publication.
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Guido-Grimm/achievement/691574d72d8b361441dbb9bb
Currently processing the data to please the editor (more P.R.Chinese samples), nothing unexpected came up but all analyses will have to be updated and streamlined.
So enjoy the original, the final product will have more tips but not more content 😅

Sketch, capture and layout phylogenies
"We present new algorithms for visualizing rooted phylogenetic networks as either combining or transfer networks, in both cladogram and phylogram style. In addition, we introduce a layout algorithm that aims to improve clarity by minimizing the total stretch of reticulate edges."

Well, you're also h. sapiens, rather than myxogastria. Better looking goes with the territory 😉

Marveling about this beautiful #wasp #phylogeny visualization from the great book "Wasps" by Eric R. Eaton. I'd so love to have that (with timeline approximations) for EVERY taxon.

@dantheclamman Naked (kind-of) shell-less clams with an agile foot read like a proto-cephalopod. Are they close at all to the phylogenetic branch that took off with squids, octopus and cuttlefish, or is "cephalopodness" a trait that can re-evolve from an ancestral clam base?

Some ancient divergences in #Opisthokonta (animals, fungi & their unicellular pals) remain contentious. Hongyue Liu @RokasLab Yuanning Li &co present a genome-scale #phylogeny & establish the geological timeline of #opisthokont diversification #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3XrOD6U

New fossil #fish species scales up evidence of Earth's evolutionary march https://phys.org/news/2024-09-fossil-fish-species-scales-evidence.html
A Late #Devonian coelacanth reconfigures actinistian #phylogeny, disparity, and evolutionary dynamics: Alice Clement et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-51238-4
"The discovery of an exceptionally well preserved ancient primitive Devonian #coelacanth fish in remote Western #Australia has been linked to a period of heightened tectonic activity, or movement in the Earth's crust"
