New paper out 🚨:
Classes and phyla of the kingdom Fungi - published in Fungal Diversity.
Here we accept 19 phyla of Fungi, resolving the classification of early divergent fungi. Check the amazing figures showing the beauty of Fungi!

How do organisms evolve new traits and behaviors? In @AnnualReviews, @wendyssae surveys major sensory receptor families to uncover evolutionary patterns of sensation driving diversification and speciation.

📢📢 New preprint out now on @EarthArXiv!
"deeptime: an R package that facilitates highly customizable visualizations of data over geological time intervals"
That's right, there is now a proper citable paper for my deeptime R package!

ALT Figure 1: Plot of global benthic δ18O data for 0 – 5.3 Ma (Lisiecki and Raymo, 2005) with geomagnetic polarity subchrons displayed on the left y-axis and planktic foraminiferal primary biozones plotted on the right y-axis.
ALT Figure 2: A mammal phylogeny (Garland et al., 1992) plotted using the ggtree and deeptime packages. The greyscale background indicates geological stages, whereas the colored timescale indicates geological epochs.
ALT Figure 3: Crinoid morphological disparity data (Wright, 2017; Guillerme et al., 2020) plotted using the coord_trans_xy() and facet_wrap_color() functions to show the change in distribution across the end-Ordovician extinction.
ALT Figure 4: A stratigraphic column of Cretaceous lithostratigraphic units from the San Juan Basin, USA. The pattern fills indicate the primary lithologies of the units as reported by the Macrostrat API (Peters et al., 2018) via the rmacrostrat R package (Jones et al., 2024).

Many novel Asgard genomes, cultivated Lokiarchaeia, new phylogenetic analyses: what insights do these and other recent studies provide into the enigmatic origin of eukaryotes? In this review in @Nature , we discuss the latest findings and open questions: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

NEW Publication!!😄
Phylogenomic analysis of Opisthokonta (#animals, #fungi, & relatives) reveals a largely robust #phylogeny, but uncovers orthology inference methods as a major contributor of #incongruence. This study provides a robust framework for studying the #Opisthokonts

This remarkable #app, developed by Del Risco et al., allows users to explore a family-level #tree of #life with ~7500 terminals, including time-proportional branch lengths and illustrations of the @organisms at each terminal.

Another new bird phylogeny, another alternative for neoavian relationships! Surprise, surprise, the hoatzin lands in yet another new position... pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23… #birds #dinosaurs

Glad to announce that the paper describing how we assembled our family-level, time calibrated tree of life is out in Journal of Systematics and Evolution. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Thrilled to announce that our work has been published in JSE. The paper may be paywalled, but the associated app, in which you can explore a vast portion of the family-level diversity of life, is freely available for Android&iOS phones (see @TreeOfLifeApp) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Amazing work by @MaaikeBier @IkerIrisarri @Jan_de_Vries & others on Klebsormidiophyceae! Unveiling 24 new transcriptomes, their phylogenomic analysis reveals the ancestor of Phragmoplastophyta & #Klebsormidiophyceae was #multicellular! @CurrentBiology

Hey, we have a new paper out proposing a new hypothesis to explain why bacteria and archaea have never evolved "complex" multicellularity.

Happy #MosasaurMonday!
For an animal as common in museums as mosasaurs (> 4,000 specimens in N.A. alone), you may be surprised to hear that there are still 2 *fundamental* unanswered questions about them: what are they, & how many times did they become marine?

Want to learn about “phylogenomics" but don’t know where to start?
A new Primer in @CurrentBiology, by David Duchene, gives a short intro to phylogenomic data, sources of error, and gene-tree discordance. It includes suggestions for further reading.
