New open access paper out today in Ecology & Evolution. We sequenced the genome of Cetoscarus ocellatus to find out what makes parrotfishes one of the most morphologically and dietarily specialised radiations on coral reefs (1/3) CT scans by: @Sternarchella

Australia’s taxonomists are gathered in Canberra with one central concern: their ambitious goal to name all undescribed species in Australia within a generation may remain out of reach without more government & philanthropic support. #taxonomy Read more: https://t.co/7DP7R7RsM4

Over time, the prevailing notion that amino acid sequences are superior to DNA 🧬 in reconstructing #DeepPhylogenies has rendered AA-based phylogenies an unquestionable #phylogenomic practice
