#Science #Publishing #FunFact: The individual H-indices of the four senior authors are, according to their #GoogleScholar profiles, 58 and 56 for the museum curators, 153 for the "distinguished professor" and 146 for his spouse (many shared papers). La creme-de-creme of the FMNH/UF

Saves a lot of time not having even to read the papers of one's juniors and first-authors.

Time you can spend on fun things. Just look at their happy faces.

Interesting leap in faith: The same clique of authors putting out a preprint claiming all modern-day Fagales genera are younger than 25-20 Ma pop up in the author list of a study just submitted to a high-tier #phylogeny journal indulging in how only the Fagaceae bunch hybridised already in the Eocene (>40 Ma).

Using the fossil record again, but this time without any palaeobotanist in the author list.

Couldn't help a quick #CommentTo Klak et al. (2020; https://doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.459.2.5) regarding the notion of "confirm[ing] some previously published facts, e.g. that D. zygophylloides is sister to Drosanthemum", which we identified as likely ingroup-outgroup long-branching artefact.

I pondered organisation, so my followers can make the best of Mastodon's filter option (settings -> filters).

I'll hash my posts as follows
#NewPosts—for new #blogposts on Res.I.P. and others I follow.
#OldPosts—for historical ones
#PhyloNetworks—anything #phylogenetics-ish beyond mere tree-inference
#FightTheFog—anything shrouding science (like confidential #PeerReview)
#CommentTo—post-reviews
#NotScience—for the irrelevant rest
