Phylogeny is one of my favorite subjects. Well of course, I study it. But it also connects you to every species that has ever lived on Earth! I drew this vertebrate phylogeny in 2015 as an undergrad. It needs many updates... https://t.co/JW7e8Z1RRb

A species complex is a group of similar species living in overlapping ranges. It's hard to distinguish them as individual species because of unclear phylogeny and interactions.

The Dendropsophus leucophyllatus species complex contains around 6–10 species of beautiful frogs.

The first complete skeleton ever discovered has remained one of the least understood - until now! 162 years later, new research analysing its biology, anatomy and phylogeny is in our January issue!

Alright, here we go. Quite a few people asked for this so here it is, the phylogeny of Jurassic World's dinosaurs.

I do not follow the "ornithoscelida hypothesis" here, as studies are in the works casting doubt on its validity. I also don't include megalosauroids in carnosauria.

I've been trying out this sort of stylized paleo critters. Considering working on more mininal designs for using in pretty looking phylogeny trees.

1844 Henry Nottidge Moseley FRS was born. Moseley sailed on the scientific expedition of HMS Challenger (1872-1876). He studied invertebrate biology & the phylogeny of arthropods, coral and molluscs & published Notes by a Naturalist on the Challenger in 1879.

There is a lot of pterosaur remains in famed Jurassic Morrison Formation - but only few can be confidently assigned species or position in pterosaur phylogeny. Here's doodle of first confidently classified - and as of yet unnamed - Rhamphorhychnid from SVP 2020.

We all know finches, but how about his giant daisies?

On Galápagos, he found 6 species, each endemic to its own island. Turns out there are more species, and their phylogeny is weirder than he thought, with more speciation within than between islands, convergences, etc https://t.co/ePTOuc0TiL

For congratulation to our Master student who finished today (co-supervised with ). A very nice work on the morphology of the and what we can say about it (phylogeny, ontogeny, allometry).
