I signed up for this site last year so it’s about time I actually started using it! A bit of an #introduction. I am an #ornithologist who works on #phylogenetics #taxonomy and #macroevolution. These days mostly with #suboscine birds. I love working with and contributing to citizen/community science databases like #iNaturalist and #eBird. Follow along for wildlife photography and science content!

David Černý presenting his new (dated) supertree inference method BLeSS, with some cool insights on the pros and cons of imputing missing taxa #Evol2023 #Evolution2023 #phylogenetics #macroevolution

Good Morning #Evol2023 Interested how to improve inferences of trait dependent #diversification (BiSSE et al.)? Come see my talk on "Causality in SSE Models" in the Symposium "Paving the way to the Phenome" in the Kiva Auditorium from 10:15-10:44 today!

New paper led by Jonathan Chu. We found that dispersal distances among North American birds depend on species’ flight efficiency and are negatively correlated with population sizes. This has interesting implications in macroecology, evolution, and conservation.
Way to go Jonathan!!!!

#Evolution refers to change in a biological population's inherited traits from generation to generation. All species on Earth originated by the mechanism of evolution, through descent from common ancestors. Evolution occurs as changes accumulate over generations. Charles Darwin recognized evolution by natural selection, also called "descent with modification", as the fundamental process underlying all of life, whether viewed at a large scale above the level of species (#macroevolution — in terms of formation of new species, changes within lineages, and extinction), or at a small scale within a species (#microevolution — in terms of change in gene frequency). In a nutshell, evolution by natural selection can be simplified to the following principles: 1) Variability 2) Differential Fitness 3) Heredity

@pseudacris, Gene Hunt & I wrote about cross-disciplinary insights in @TrendsEcolEvo https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2022.10.013 we hope many will read and discuss with their colleagues/labs. Often we disregard important information/insights from other fields while attempting to make inferences in our own (related) field. We short-change ourselves when we do that -- we can do better when reaching out across fields.

Pls. boost!

got a review pointing out I am being 'too #skeptic'. I think for any problem regarding historical biology (#phylogenetics, #macroevolution) you should be skeptical even of strongly supported results, especially if you know that the data present some clear pathologies!

Hi, here is my #introduction for #fossilfriday I'm a #palaeontology postdoc currently at the University of Vigo, Spain, working on #paleobiology & #macroevolution, in particular of #dinosaurs. My research is focused on understanding how climate affected the evolution & distribution of Mesozoic #dinosaurs & the K/Pg mass #extinction. I'm also interested in the anatomy & systematics of non-avian dinosaurs, particularly if useful to test hypotheses on their adaptations to changing paleogeography🦕🌡🌍

My #introduction. I am a #botanist my interests are #taxonomy #systematics #macroevolution #speciation #herbaria and #species concepts. Other than #botany my main interests here are #ecology #nature conservation #rstats #scicomm #dataviz #ecoevo #collections and #biodiversity. I work as a #curator of botany at NMNI.

My research interest is on the intersection between form, function and the environment, analysed in a #phylogenetic comparative framework.
I use #biomechanics, #morphometrics and #phylogenetic comparative methods to study #macroevolution

Hi, I'm Emily, a #PhDstudent at the University of Lincoln studying #palaeontology.
My research on #macroevolution currently focuses on studying biological complexity in #Sauropods 🦕and #perissodactyls. 🐎
As well as #science I also dabble in #art and science graphic design, and am a big fan of exploring nature and the outdoors. 🏔🗻⛰️🏞
