We tried to assess whether rates of phenotypic evolution based on multivariate data (discrete and continuous), using popular methods, and which influence how we measure phenotypic change and innovation across lineages provide comparable results. The answer is a very big NO.

Gracias Barcelona y #eseb25 por la semana increible con debates científicos y nuevos colegas!

If you like evolutionary rates or donut-shaped trees, check out the poster bybstudent Ruby Redlich (313) today at #ESEB25 benchmarking rate inference performance

And for another #ESEB25 poster, now by Izabel Salvi

If you are interested in #macroevolution, check some of our lab student's posters today at #ESEB25, 296 and 303!

Hanging around Universidade de Brasília over the next days! But hunting much smaller creatures than this with my PhD students Daniel Vasquez-Restrepo and Izabel Salvi

That's a feels like of 108 for the Fareheint minded! And 82 at work even with AC at 65! I thought I left that behind when I left Rio

Great talk this week by Doug Erwin here at EEB-Princeton on evolutionary novelty and innovation. A great honor to meet Doug in person after reading so much of his work!

Our latest paper is out today: Oldest Gorgonopsian synapsid suggest therapsids may have originated in equatorial regions. Out in @NatureComms with several colleagues:
