Just wondering...has anyone ever tried a network-thinker approach?

Whenever I ran into people getting stuck with unsolvable phylogenies, I showed them there's more than the usual 1-dimensional stick graphs in phylogenetics and "can't" became a "let's" and, ultimately, "done".

Also great to explore only ambiguous signals.

@drmambobob @CFoix

It usually is the data with non-molecular data sets, and not a few molecular ones. However, the often overlooked question is, do they really support different trees, or is it merely prefence?

The signal from such matrices is usually not very treelike and one could simply explore the topological alternatives.

@dezene

Can't help it, sorry.

The Indo-part of Indomalaya was at the time even further away from Malaya but naturally closer to Australia although not really next to it.

Sophisticated top-down reconstructions look nice and make great graphics.

But whether they make sense might require a bit of a palaeo-perspective, too.

And, thanks to Rob Scotese, really everyone can dive into Earth's past.

@erinnacland @academicchatter

In my fields, it usually means pal- or light-reviewed.

But some (especially high-fly) journals have a strict resubmission policy as soon as the paper is not ready to publish to camouflage the actual time-under-review; an example #oldposts
https://researchinpeace.blogspot.com/2017/09/one-date-that-is-missing-in-many.html

And there's a vast grey-zone between predatory and legit publishing, e.g. some Frontiers in... journals are heavily compromised such as ...Genetics and ...Plant Science.

#FightTheFog-Update to https://ecoevo.social/@grimmiges/110101595898174133

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.

How shady has Frontiers in... become?

Well, they now sent out #PeerReview invitations to emails they only could have got from dubious sources.

But one has to applaud their AI to make the connection between the occassional customer and the (formerly professional) scientist of the same name.

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.

It was quite lately that I came to appreciate the information in complete plastomes. They can be fascinating (just brooding over those of beeches and maples). Not with respect to #phylogeny, though, but #evolution and #history.
