One of ecology and evolution ISH books that I recently read is "Improbable Destinies by Jonanthan Losos". Worth the time to read it, if you haven't. Has examples on Lizards, sticklebacks, guppies.

IQ2MC: A New Framework to Infer Phylogenetic Time Trees Using IQ-TREE 3 and MCMCTree with Mixture Models

Frustrated that MCMCtree does not have complex substitution models? The IQ-tree team has now developed IQ2MC, an interface for seamless integration of IQ-tree's substitution models with MCMCtree's fast Bayesian pipeline for clock dating. Read the preprint here: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Bayesian Selection of Relaxed-Clock Models: Distinguishing between Independent and Autocorrelated Rates Abstract. In Bayesian molecular-clock dating of species divergences, rate models are used to construct the prior on the molecular evolutionary rates for br

Happy to share that my PhD paper published in Systematic Biology. My paper explores the #Asymptotictheory of Bayesian rate model selection and explore how misspecified calibrations can affect this. Also test rate model selection with large #Phylogenomes

A reminder that we have two open PhD projects on Bayesian phylogenetics in the lab:

One with the new TREE Doctoral Landscape Awards: www.trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/int... (deadline 20th Jan)

And another with CSC: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... (deadline 29th Jan)
