Gapaham kenapa orang2 yang non-queer ngurusin hidup gw bgt. I have been gay since as long as I can remember and will proudly remain queer for the rest of my life. Stay Rainbow, folks ๐ŸŒˆ.

All the trio athriniform oddballs (Iso, Atherion & phallostethids) form a clade! Yeah with relatively long branches, especially the ones leading to phallostethid taxa!
The order Atheriniformes (silversides, rainbowfishes, and blue-eyes) is a globally distributed group of fishes with frequent evolutionary transitions between marine and freshwater ecosystems. However, understanding these transitions has been hampered by poor phylogenetic resolution and limited taxonomic sampling. Here, researchers produce a phylogenomic dataset of 150 species to resolve interfamilial relationships and reconstruct the groupโ€™s biogeographic history. Results suggest more frequent marine-to-freshwater transitions than previously inferred, and uncover habitat transitions where marine ancestors may have gone extinct. Researchers propose a revised classification that restricts Atherinidae to the genus ๐ด๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘Ž and recognises Atherinomoridae and Craterocephalidae as separate families based on their findings. ๐Ÿ”“ (Preprint) biorxiv.org/content/10.64898โ€ฆ ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฃ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป? biorxiv.org/content/what-unrโ€ฆ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—ง๐—ถ๐˜๐—น๐—ฒ Phylogenomics, Biogeography, and a New Family-level Classification of Silversides, Rainbowfishes, and Allies (Teleostei: Atheriniformes) ๐—–๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป Lily C.

However, understanding the tempo and mode of these transitions has been hampered by poor phylogenetic resolution and limited taxonomic sampling, particularly within the suborder Atherinoidei. We generated a phylogenomic dataset of 1,100 exon loci for 150 species to resolve interfamilial relationships and reconstruct the groupโ€™s biogeographic history. We were also able to incorporate a large number of existing GenBank sequences, producing a phylogeny with 265 species sampled for at least some genetic data (67% of known species diversity). While the New World suborder Atherinopsidae is well-resolved, we found that the family Atherinidae is polyphyletic across all analyses. We propose a revised classification that restricts Atherinidae to the genus ๐ด๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘Ž and recognizes Atherinomoridae and Craterocephalidae as separate families. Our biogeographic inferences using explicit geographic areas suggests more frequent marine-to-freshwater transitions than previously inferred with simplified binary (marine vs. freshwater) coding, and uncover habitat transitions where marine ancestors may have gone extinct. These results highlight how explicit geographic modeling can uncover marine ancestry erased by extinction, providing a robust phylogenetic framework for future evolutionary studies of Atheriniformes. ๐—ฃ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—–๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜ Phylogenomic tree of Atheriniformes based on the concatenated nucleotide G75 matrix analysed in IQ-TREE (Table 1; Analysis 2).

Orang sering gk bs bedain logika dgn rasionalisasi (akal-akalan) Bbrp aspek agama msh bs dibahas scr logis, tp banyak klaim yg pd akhrny harusin orang trima premis yg gk dpt diverifikasi scr logis. Di situ rasionalisasi srg dipake utk bikin seolah2 tetap konsisten & masuk akal.
Lha, bukankah kata ngustadz Felix Kwetiau, submission itu artinya menyerahkan logika kepada iman. Dengan kata lain, mengimani Islam ya jangan pake logika. Katanya lho. Kalo ngeyel membantah pernyataan Felix tidak benar, bahwa logikajuga perlu digunakan dalam beriman, PERTANYAANNYA sekarang: "Ketika logika dan otoritas agama tampak bertabrakan, siapa yang harus menang?"

Efek glorifikasi iman = agama gue unik beda dari yg lain dlm hal bla bla bla Ini fenomena katak dlm tempurung, soalny klo ditanya ke umat yg lain pasti pd bilang โ€œidih agama gue juga gitu kokโ€ Lgian questioning faith itu spektrum, ujung ekstrimny ya murtad
I wasnโ€™t born Christian ya, tapi 1 kelebihan Kristen dibandingkan agama lain adalah kebebasan to be okay to question your faith. Gak ada dalam sejarah Gereja, Bapa-Bapa Gereja itu mengajarkan, โ€œPercaya saja, jangan banyak tanyaโ€ Justru spirit yang dibangun oleh Bapa Gereja awal itu adalah critical thinking about our faith. Makanya Gereja awal itu penuh dengan kontroversi and rigorous debates, tapi justru dari situlah penegasan mengenai Orthodoxia atau ajaran yang benar terbentuk. Jadi, iman yang kita terima hingga hari ini itu bukan hasil dari pola pikir yang โ€œPercaya sajaโ€ tapi dari scrutiny, criticism, and philosophy. Thatโ€™s the beauty of Christianity.
