#platyhelminths — Public Fediverse posts

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 ´

@lauramulvey et al: Where traditional #extinction estimates fall flat: using novel cophylogenetic methods to estimate extinction #risk in #platyhelminths: https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2022.0432 with @rachelwarnock

Here, we apply a novel metric to estimate the cophylogenetic extinction #rate, Ec, of #parasites with their hosts. The approach allows to incorporates information about the evolutionary history of parasites and hosts that can be estimated using event-based #cophylogenetic methods.
