The new era of global bird phylogenies begins – this one built over several years by @snacktavish.bsky.social and team massively increases sample size and will be a fantastic resource for macroevolution and macroecology. 🪶 🌐 🧪

*** Academic BFD alert *** We just published a new global bird phylogeny. It synthesizes the work of thousands of researchers before us, and it will grow and improve over time. @snacktavish.bsky.social @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

‘The Tree of All Birds’ is an excellent name for a medieval fable. But also an extraordinary accomplishment in evolutionary mapping and visualisation for around 11,000 bird species. 🧪🦅🦆🦜🦢🦉🐓🦩🐦‍⬛🦚

If you have thoughts on how you would like ModelFinder & PartitionFinder to work in IQ-TREE, I am interested in hearing them. We are re-building this now. Particularly interested in pain points for users! Please repost if you have phylo followers...

We did a fun live phylogeny guessing game in evolution today! What's an animal more closely related to manatee than it is to human or cat? Students yelled out ideas, and we added them to the tree as we went! labs.minutelabs.io/Tree-of-Life...
