Tree evolution is surprisingly quirky! 🌳 Trees are likely ancestral in many plant groups, often re-evolve on islands, and Arabidopsis can be made tree-like by tweaking a few genes. We revisited what genes really make a tree a tree using comparative genomics. @TRHvidsten #trees

Excited to share our new paper where we find that the rise, decline and fall of clades is not explained by the usual suspects (diversity-dependence, ecological opportunities) but rather by species' insidious loss of macroevolutionary fitness: https://t.co/CU8x8ZWpZ3 1/3

The Advice I Wish I'd Received: IDWGS 2025 Professor Erin Saupe from @OxUniEarthSci describes the strength in admitting you were wrong and trying again! #WomenInScience #IDWGS2025 @ErinSaupe

What a fantastic opportunity! Arthur is an awesome scientist and person.

Now our special issue on the relationship between @microevolution and @macroevolution is online @JEvBio! We hope that it marks the beginning of a new era of exciting discoveries. link to the issue: https://t.co/7tsZVhwrbO link to the editorial:

Highly recommend this very interesting new paper about modes of evolution. I'll be reading it again--and then probably again & again. It's insightful, idea rich, & thought provoking even in places where I disagree w/ interpretations! https://t.co/MjKbga0LJl

Special Issue: Inferring macroevolutionary patterns and processes from microevolutionary mechanisms Wow! A lot of interesting papers to read in here! https://t.co/aZaxk9Rwij

We've put together a CRAN Task View for the palaeontological community - a curated list of R packages relevant for palaeontological research📦🦕 You can install the CRAN Task View via: ctv::install.views("Paleontology") Read more: https://t.co/K4GG8YWrdt #Paleontology #Rstats

Don't forget to check out this PhD opportunity in paleobiology!

Delighted to share our new perspective article @JEvBio: rising evidence suggests unexpectedly robust link btw micro- and macroevolution. It challenges past views of evolution and calls for interdisciplinary research. #Evolution #EvoDevo #Paleontology 1/7 https://t.co/HCPbhIqOVj

Interested in pursuing a PhD in paleobiology and want to think more about extinction? Check out the below PhD project! Please get in contact if interested! https://t.co/lJ8lgSNViu Illustration by Victor O. Leshyk

Heads up! We’ll soon announce two postdoc positions in the Biovision Lab. One in AI-driven computational paleontology, and one in computer vision applied to biology (open-ended). Official ads to follow. Please RT! https://t.co/sJszjQJNAH #Postdoc #AI #Paleontology

I realized I haven’t had the chance to properly celebrate @mluerig joining the lab at the beginning of the year. But now Moritz has his first paper in the lab out in Ecology Letters. And it is a fun one. Go check it out: https://t.co/i3Re895KJs

Curious about measuring trait-fitness associations in the fossil record? Discover how we leveraged computer vision to measure 400,000+ structures in the #bryozoa fossil record. Always great to collaborate with @lhliow and @DiMartino_E

🚨Our paper on the major update to R package mvSLOUCH is out!🚨 Now w/ rapid speed for your large multivariate datasets + measurement error + missing data + crucially, the ability to specify precisely how sets of traits evolving by OU/BM interact, e.g. for modularity tests!

Thinking about applying for a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship? Interested in collaborating with me or any of my colleagues at the Natural History Museum in Oslo? Get in touch! The Museum offers an excellent training program. Deadline June 7.
