How do organisms evolve new traits and behaviors? In @AnnualReviews, @wendyssae surveys major sensory receptor families to uncover evolutionary patterns of sensation driving diversification and speciation. https://t.co/bfXLK98mQ6

NEW Publication!!😄 Phylogenomic analysis of Opisthokonta (#animals, #fungi, & relatives) reveals a largely robust #phylogeny, but uncovers orthology inference methods as a major contributor of #incongruence. This study provides a robust framework for studying the #Opisthokonts

This remarkable #app, developed by Del Risco et al., allows users to explore a family-level #tree of #life with ~7500 terminals, including time-proportional branch lengths and illustrations of the @organisms at each terminal. https://t.co/b3IR20T4d1

Glad to announce that the paper describing how we assembled our family-level, time calibrated tree of life is out in Journal of Systematics and Evolution.

Despite the abundance of phylogenetic studies published in the scientific literature, exploring a comprehensively assembled tree of life has been hampered by the overly scattered nature of informat...

Thrilled to announce that our work has been published in JSE. The paper may be paywalled, but the associated app, in which you can explore a vast portion of the family-level diversity of life, is freely available for Android&iOS phones (see @TreeOfLifeApp)

Amazing work by @MaaikeBier @IkerIrisarri @Jan_de_Vries & others on Klebsormidiophyceae! Unveiling 24 new transcriptomes, their phylogenomic analysis reveals the ancestor of Phragmoplastophyta & #Klebsormidiophyceae was #multicellular! @CurrentBiology

Hey, we have a new paper out proposing a new hypothesis to explain why bacteria and archaea have never evolved "complex" multicellularity. https://t.co/kIKfIGkrLp

“Complex multicellularity,” conventionally defined as large organisms with many specialized cell types, has evolved five times independently in euk...

Our take (@glpcjd @sometimesferns) on the fantastic new paper on Klebsormidiophyceae by @MaaikeBier @IkerIrisarri @Jan_de_Vries & colleagues https://t.co/TSxHS5VcL7 and the multicellular ancestry of Phragmoplastophyta and, perhaps, Streptophyta

An amazing thread exposing the puzzling place(s) of mosasaurs within the #TreeOfLife, as well as their internal relationships. Did flipper-like limbs evolved once or rather severas times 🤔? Dip into the thread to find out
Happy #MosasaurMonday! For an animal as common in museums as mosasaurs (> 4,000 specimens in N.A. alone), you may be surprised to hear that there are still 2 *fundamental* unanswered questions about them: what are they, & how many times did they become marine? a #scicomm 🧵...
