The
10th annual Applied Phylogenetics Workshop took place last week at the Bodega Bay Marine Lab. If you didn't make it to the workshop, but are interested in learning about the latest methods in applied phylogenetics I have good news: we've wikified the workshop! Recent upgrades to the
Wiki include new tutorials on how to
conduct basic phylogenetic analyses, analyze morphological evolution using the program
Brownie, and assesss patterns of
community assembly and evolution. We've also expanded our coverage of
phylogenetic comparative methods and made progress toward completion of a comprehensive
BEAST tutorial. Check it out and don't be shy about signing up as a contributor yourself!
Congrats to fellow Dechroner, Luke Harmon, who along with several colleagues has a nice paper in this week's Nature. In this article, they describe their research on how the diversification of species via an adaptive radiation strongly affects the ecosystem itself, through a series of studies of sticklebacks. There's a nice News & Views on their article as well. Good work, Luke (et al.)!
