Pretty sure bsky image compression will absolutely cook this, but I got really into plant phylogeny for the past few years and made a phylogenetic tree with basically every commonly known seed plant on it. Will be breaking it up into legible chunks in the replies if you would like to check it out

It always feels nice to be able to give something back to your alma mater. It has been 10 years since an 18 yo me completed his undergraduate and got introduced to the wonderful world of evolutionary biology and phylogenetic inference 😊

Max Telford's 1993 paper with Peter Holland on the phylogenetic affinities of chaetognaths was a big inspiration as I began my work on the phylogenetics of Acanthocephala. Telford has written a book and the preview looks amazing.
My book 'The Tree of Life' is published in the USA and Canada today.
Available as book, on kindle and as audio.
I would be really grateful for reposts.

For example, if you are estimating phylogenetic signal of binary data using Fritz & @andypurvisnhm.bsky.social D-estimate it is necessary that the data is not very skewed (for example, 1 tip in one state, 99 in another). Otherwise, the test doesn't work. More: hedvigsr.tumblr.com/post/7454773...

We also looked at phylogenetic turnover, in simple terms, how different the evolutionary histories of forest communities are within and between regions.
East Eurasia showed the most uniform evolutionary makeup, while West Eurasia had the strongest internal differences.

Description of all stages of a new tick species from California, Haemaphysalis vespertina (Acari: Ixodidae), with redescription of H. leporispalustris Packard, 1869 adults and phylogenetic relationships among related U.S. taxa
All active stages of Haemaphysalis vespertina sp. nov. (Acari: Ixodidae), a tick previously identified as H. leporispalustris Packard, 1869, are described from specimens collected on the vegetation and from leporids in California and Oregon. The adults of H. leporispalustris Packard, 1969 are redescribed based on type material. Adults of the two species can be distinguished by their overall size, the dorsal shape of palpal segment II, the number and shape of dorsal and ventral setae on palpal segment II, the number of spurs on coxae II, the length of setae on scutum, legs and coxae, and the pattern of scutal punctations. Phylogenetic analyses support H. vespertina as a distinct taxonomic lineage. Additional unresolved lineages within H. leporispalustris s.l. were identified, suggesting a need for further taxonomic study of leporid-associated Haemaphysalis ticks in North America.
