Check out our review/perspective piece on phylogenetic diversification analysis, intended for the 75th anniversary of @systbiol.bsky.social. I had the privilege of working with great coauthors, @fhenaodiaz.bsky.social, @tvasconcelos.bsky.social and @roszenil.bsky.social! doi.org/10.1093/sysb...

My department (ecology and evolution) is hiring a core bioinformatics/comp bio person (not TT but the last person retired after 25+ years). It's a great place to work!: stonybrooku.taleo.net/careersectio...

Anyone have an example of an interactive hands-on lab for teaching phylogenetic tree thinking for a zoology course?

I'll be teaching #herpetology next year, and I'm curious if anyone out there has taught this course with 3d printed materials, and if so, are the materials/files already detailed somewhere? Suggestions welcome! Thanks!

Very excited to share a huge project that's been a long time in the making. Interested in squamate macroevolution? Curious about how snakes fit into the broader ecological context of squamates? Looking for a new squamate phylogeny? Check out our new work: doi.org/10.1126/scie...
