New paper out 🚨:

Classes and phyla of the kingdom Fungi - published in Fungal Diversity.

Here we accept 19 phyla of Fungi, resolving the classification of early divergent fungi. Check the amazing figures showing the beauty of Fungi!

[Nicholas Bellono @NBellono]

How do organisms evolve new traits and behaviors? In @AnnualReviews, @wendyssae surveys major sensory receptor families to uncover evolutionary patterns of sensation driving diversification and speciation.

📢📢 New preprint out now on @EarthArXiv!

"deeptime: an R package that facilitates highly customizable visualizations of data over geological time intervals"

That's right, there is now a proper citable paper for my deeptime R package!

Many novel Asgard genomes, cultivated Lokiarchaeia, new phylogenetic analyses: what insights do these and other recent studies provide into the enigmatic origin of eukaryotes? In this review in @Nature , we discuss the latest findings and open questions: https://t.co/LnGcoz50ot

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

A pleasure to play a part in this cool project led by my friend & colleague Will brightly's insatiable curiosity and love for grasses and the @StrombergLab 1/2

Research Briefing just out in @Nature, summarising our #angiosperm "big tree" paper out in April. A handy summary if you don't want to read the whole paper! @KewScience @AlexZuntini #Angiosperms353 #phylogenomics

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.

Another new bird phylogeny, another alternative for neoavian relationships! Surprise, surprise, the hoatzin lands in yet another new position... https://t.co/UnMdKDZlN9 #birds #dinosaurs

[Tree Of Life App @TreeOfLifeApp]

Glad to announce that the paper describing how we assembled our family-level, time calibrated tree of life is out in Journal of Systematics and Evolution. https://t.co/CgDkWiZnCe

[ADR @AndresDelRisco]

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) https://t.co/kbcHKrhfwe

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

Hey, we have a new paper out proposing a new hypothesis to explain why bacteria and archaea have never evolved "complex" multicellularity.

Our take (@glpcjd @sometimesferns) on the fantastic new paper on Klebsormidiophyceae by @MaaikeBier @IkerIrisarri @Jan_de_Vries & colleagues https://t.co/TSxHS5VcL7 and the multicellular ancestry of Phragmoplastophyta and, perhaps, Streptophyta

[Prof Sanchez-Baracaldo @sanchez_baracal]

Happy to announce that our paper : TreeViewer version 2.2.0 is out with Dr. Giorgio Bianchini! @Ecol_Evol Free Software plotting age distributions, spreadsheet editor, publication quality phylogenies, and more. #Phylogenetics Publication: https://t.co/Nkj82QIZH1

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

[Dr. Amelia R. Zietlow 🦎 @TyrantLzrdQueen]

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?
