Happy #WorldLizardDay! Did you know that I can build a timeline of #squamata AND a timetree? Just watch out for those 🐍🐍 Find your favorite at timetree.org
ALT A phylogenetic timetree of 53 families within the order Squamata. Below the tree are graphs tracking time, Earth impacts, O2, CO2 and solar luminosity
Since we're talking about it again, why don't authors provide links to their results? Why don't publishers provide the space to host the data?
(specifically timetree files with branch lengths in years 😉)
The biogeographic study of Curimatidae in the Neotropics is out at @Ecol_Evol - Late Cretaceous origin in the proto-Orinoco-Amazonas with several transitions to upland basins (esp. Brazilian Shield) at multiple times during Paleogene & Neogene. Open Access bit.ly/3c1rLDD
