The main themes will be #genomics, #bioinformatics, #zoonoses, #clusters, #phylodynamics, #phylogeography,
#WithinHost #dynamics, #adaptation,
#vaccines, and #ImmuneEscape

"Sixty-three skeletons from the Pre Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) sites of Tell Halula, Tell Ramad and Dja'de El Mughara dating between 8,700–6,600 cal. B.C. were analyzed, and 15 validated mitochondrial DNA profiles were recovered. In order to estimate the demographic contribution of the first farmers to both Central European and Western Mediterranean Neolithic cultures, haplotype and haplogroup diversities in the PPNB sample were compared using phylogeographic and population genetic analyses to available ancient DNA data from human remains belonging to the Linearbandkeramik-Alföldi Vonaldiszes Kerámia and Cardial/Epicardial cultures."

Hmm.. What about directly identifying the homeland? We used #phylogeography to infer the most probable origin of these languages.

It turns out the most probable homeland matches the Northern Origin scenario, not the Ancient or Southern scenarios.

Aus aktuellem Anlaß, got a paper on Fagus hayatae (#beech) #phylogeography published 2016 in Ecol. Evol. with potentially interesting data, which is nowhere to be found.

Missing here but should be obligatory following each "Conclusion" section: a section on "Data availability". With a link to the phylogenetic matrix, ideally.

#OldPosts D. Morrison and I and why We want to publish our phylogenetic #data – including networks, but where?—https://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2018/02/we-want-to-publish-our-phylogenetic.html

If you want to learn how to apply deep learning methods in #PopulationGenomics and #Phylogeography, you can't miss this course in February!

(Since I messed up the server thing but am now on ecoevo social, a new #Introduction)

Hi, I'm Emily. I'm an Assist Prof in Biology at the University of Memphis.

My main interest is linking #phenotype to #genotype in wildlife; then explaining geographic patterns through #phylogeography, #popgen, and #demography. My focal species is the American black #bear, with secondary projects in #chipmunks, #rats, and #polarbears.

Registrations open for the 15th International #Symposium on #Flatworm Biology (24-28 July 2023, CEBIMar, São Sebastião, #Brazil): https://www.even3.com.br/xvisfb/

Presentations on the #biology and #evolution of #flatworms are invited including #taxonomy, #systematics, #phylogeny, #morphology, #naturalhistory, #ecology, #cellularbiology, #molecularbiology and #molecular studies of #regeneration, #aging, #bioadhesion, #endemism, #phylogeography, #developmentalbiology with #model species #platyhelminths ´

I'm an Evolutionary Biologist, currently working as an assistant researcher (CONICET 🇦🇷). I am interested in both, theoretical and empirical work 🦎 🐠 🐜 🕷️ related to #phylogenetics #phylogeography #biogeography & #genomics. Love that we have up to 500 characters on Mastodon 😅

An #Introduction:

I'm the #Curator of #Herpetology at the #NaturalHistoryMuseum of #Denmark, and #AsstProf of #Vertebrate #Zoology at the University of Copenhagen.

I work in evolutionary and systematic herpetology, working on a variety of topics including #museomics, #macroevolution, #convergence, #phylogeography, #speciation, #systematics, and #taxonomy. I mostly work on the #amphibians and #reptiles of #Madagascar. #Miniaturisation is my jam.

#introduction
Hi everyone! 👋 First time I'm tooting!
I'm an Italian #entomologist doing my #PhD at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology #IBE in Barcelona.

I study the #diversity and #evolution of the European #ant fauna using #IntegrativeTaxonomy, #genetics (mainly #barcoding), and #genomics (#UCEs). I also work on #InvasiveAlienSpecies and #butterfly #phylogeography.

I love beer, #Rstats, maps, and turning over stones. Ah, I'm also an #iNaturalist addict!

@naturepoker #OxfordNanopore is my favorite website for window-shopping! Do you have an estimate of how much it would cost per plastid? Would be interesting for plant #phylogeography and #conservation
