NEW Publication!!😄 Phylogenomic analysis of Opisthokonta (#animals, #fungi, & relatives) reveals a largely robust #phylogeny, but uncovers orthology inference methods as a major contributor of #incongruence. This study provides a robust framework for studying the #Opisthokonts

This remarkable #app, developed by Del Risco et al., allows users to explore a family-level #tree of #life with ~7500 terminals, including time-proportional branch lengths and illustrations of the @organisms at each terminal. doi.org/10.1111/jse.13053 @WileyEcolEvol #JSE #evolution

Another new bird phylogeny, another alternative for neoavian relationships! Surprise, surprise, the hoatzin lands in yet another new position... pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23… #birds #dinosaurs

Thrilled to announce that our work has been published in JSE. The paper may be paywalled, but the associated app, in which you can explore a vast portion of the family-level diversity of life, is freely available for Android&iOS phones (see @TreeOfLifeApp) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Amazing work by @MaaikeBier @IkerIrisarri @Jan_de_Vries & others on Klebsormidiophyceae! Unveiling 24 new transcriptomes, their phylogenomic analysis reveals the ancestor of Phragmoplastophyta & #Klebsormidiophyceae was #multicellular! @CurrentBiology bit.ly/42ttcEu

Our take (@glpcjd @sometimesferns) on the fantastic new paper on Klebsormidiophyceae by @MaaikeBier @IkerIrisarri @Jan_de_Vries & colleagues shorturl.at/koNW3 and the multicellular ancestry of Phragmoplastophyta and, perhaps, Streptophyta

An amazing thread exposing the puzzling place(s) of mosasaurs within the #TreeOfLife, as well as their internal relationships. Did flipper-like limbs evolved once or rather severas times 🤔? Dip into the thread to find out
Happy #MosasaurMonday! For an animal as common in museums as mosasaurs (> 4,000 specimens in N.A. alone), you may be surprised to hear that there are still 2 *fundamental* unanswered questions about them: what are they, & how many times did they become marine? a #scicomm 🧵...
