super excited to share this big project with @daeaton.bsky.social out now in Systematic Biology! We derived distributions for -- given an arbitrary species tree model -- how far you have to move along a genome before observing a change in the underlying genealogy: doi.org/10.1093/sysb...
Estimating waiting distances between genealogy changes under a Multi-Species Extension of the Sequentially Markov Coalescent
Abstract. Genomes are composed of a mosaic of segments inherited from different ancestors, each separated by past recombination events. Consequently, genea

The third chapter of my dissertation is out now in the Journal of Biogeography!
For this work, we examined the implications of using range maps to extract species richness for use in macroecological models.
DM me if you don't have access & want a copy! :)

Perils of Using Range Maps in Macroecological Models of Species Richness
Aim As range maps do not imply the continuous presence of species across their extents—and are commonly developed with species conservation in mind—their underlying assumptions unsurprisingly lead t...

Netzelia corona is an amoeba with teeth. Can a model proposed by Kenneth Dumack and colleagues explain that? A brief blog post.
