That's a real, physical book, people. @lukejharmon #Rstats https://t.co/z0IMsz2QVX

Pretty cool. https://t.co/elkouiDOUw

Can't wait to be able to check out this fun documentary staring my friends & colleagues @lukejharmon & @thesnailhunter_ (Christine Parent) "Snail Hunters (Official Trailer)" https://t.co/FLzHiygjBQ via @YouTube

The Biology Dept. @UMassBoston is searching for an Asst. Professor in "Microbial Ecology" (but 'microbial' is the operative word -- applicants studying evolution in microbial systems are also encouraged). For more info or to apply: https://t.co/XbYrxKGgf8. Please share/RT.

Friends, colleagues, & other followers. I'm captaining a team in the Ride for Food '25 to raise money for Pete & Andy's Pantry in Rhode Island & no donation to our efforts is too small. To support us, please visit the team page here: https://t.co/kCcLR7AsuV. Thank you!!

For a more compact summary with all updates, check out my blog ( https://t.co/UpMCIRa8Hz), where you can also stay tuned for other new #phytools updates & features. 9/9

New simulator functions for absorbing bounded Brownian motion (sim.absorbing), Brownian motion with reflective bounds (sim.reflective), and multi-trend trended Brownian evolution (sim.multiTrend, https://t.co/sOrjg7JUF6). 8/9

A new Pagel '94 type correlation model with one binary trait and one continuous character, fitcontMk, in which the state of the continuous trait is allowed to affect the transition rate of the discrete character ( https://t.co/tGn9wyQ3r9) 7/9

A brand new multi-σ, multi-μ, discrete-state-dependent trended Brownian model, fitmultiTrend ( https://t.co/oHj6ylI6KK). 6/9

A new bounded quantitative trait evolution model with absorbing boundaries, as part of the existing #phytools function bounded_bm ( https://t.co/ZYuo6D5IOx). 5/9

A totally new 'semi-threshold' trait evolution model, fitsemiThresh, where evolution of the liability behaves as a quantitative trait on some interval, but as a discrete threshold character outside of it ( https://t.co/1GjTGieJnV). 4/9

A new general cladebox function for drawing boxes around a clade on a phylogeny plotted in rectangular, fan, or arc styles ( https://t.co/PdtCOCQceX). 3/9

Minor improvements in the model objects and optimization diagnostics returned to the user by fitPagel ( https://t.co/ZXXTo96khC). fitPagel in phytools can be used to fit a binary trait correlated evolution model of Pagel (1994). 2/9

The #phytools R package has a new version on CRAN ( https://t.co/QpUZ4TCYgA) with various new models & updates, including.... 1/9

By #phytools user request... ancestral state estimation of a discrete trait when some nodes are known: https://t.co/AmKrCVtrAw.

Cool figure made with the help of #phytools in "Evolution of thumbnails across Rodentia" by @rafaelamissagia et al. in @ScienceMagazine. I especially appreciate that the authors acknowledged using phytools for the plots, something that's often overlooked! https://t.co/nPgmkSLhQj

Come check out @mayracvidal's departmental seminar at @UMassBoston this Friday! Open to the public. If you'd like to attend via Zoom, please contact me via email & I'll send you the link.

If you're local to Concepción, Chile, & you like #phylogenies, consider registering for this workshop we're offering at @USanSebastian sede Concepción. 👇

I suddenly realized why @Klaus_Schlp is a fan of this wine! #threetaxonstatement #phylogenygeek

Next week I'll be teaching in a workshop at @USanSebastian sede Concepción with @lukejharmon & hosted by Cristián Hernández Ulloa. I believe that enrollment is still open, so if you're local to Concepción, Chile, please check it out!

I'm not sure how, but I almost completely forgot I did this in #phytools even though it was only, like, two weeks ago: "A Pagel '94 type correlation model with one binary trait and one continuous character" using the discretized diffusion approximation ( https://t.co/tGn9wyQ3r9).
