How does the BL change through time? Is the evolution polarity the same in different families? We used to explore shape variation of the inner ear, and test evolutionary rates within phylogeny for significant shifts cute illustration 🙂

This study aims to address the morphological challenges of the bombardier subgenus Neobrachinus by using molecular sequence data to infer the phylogeny of the species and to test proposed species groups.

Our new paper in descrive a huge (5.18m marlin!) vertebrae. We start to understand why some marlins grow so big and others are smaller and this information reinforce our recently published phylogeny in . https://t.co/6RmQFpriXl

ive been drawing some regular ass animals for the atlantis contest which is why i havent posted much on my pokemon phylogeny (which i know everyone is super excited about based on the engagement the other posts garnered) so heres some of those

Avian phylogeny and hybridization. Only 6 viable hybrids can be made between the 5 species, do to gametic and genome size differences. Sirawit is an infertile skimmer/flightless hybrid.

Remember, in the Pokemon world, a fucking fish evolves into a goddamn Octopus. I think we can toss Phylogeny out the window

Tomorrow is October 5th, which means that my new book is out in the UK. A dinosaur book written for adults, and with an unashamed quantity of text on phylogeny, dinosaur diversity and evolutionary history.

Today's blogpost I just had a quick word vomit about how how phylogeny and cladistics can potentially lead to some ridiculous groupings of living things.

We comment on cranial scute homology of stem turtles. Whereas shell scutes are relatively well understood & intensely used for phylogeny, cranial scutes are more problematic. This work expands pioneering work of others, particularly Juliana Sterli () 2/3
