Chromosome number is perhaps the most basic characteristic of a genome, yet generalizations that can explain evolution this trait across large clades have remained elusive. Using karyotype data from over 1000 mammals, we developed and applied phylogenetic model chromosome links changes with morphology. our model, infer rates are significantly lower in species karyotypes consist either all bibrachial or monobrachial chromosomes than mix both types morphologies. We suggest homogeneous may...
Abstract Gene flow is increasingly recognized as an important macroevolutionary process. The many mechanisms that contribute to gene (e.g. introgression, hybridization, lateral transfer) uniquely affect the diversification of dynamics species, making it be able account for these idiosyncrasies when constructing phylogenetic models. Existing phylogenetic‐network simulators macroevolution are limited in ways they model flow. We present SiPhyNetwork , R package simulating networks under a...
Gene-flow processes such as hybridization and introgression play important roles in shaping diversity across the tree of life. Recent studies extending birth-death models have made it possible to investigate patterns reticulation a macroevolutionary context. These allow for different gene flow events that can either add, maintain, or remove lineages—with itself possibly being dependent on relatedness between species—thus creating complex diversification scenarios. Further, many reticulate...
Synthetic, computer-generated signals are widely used in playback studies of animal acoustic communication. Depending on the goals experimenter, they can offer several significant advantages over playbacks recordings edited or unedited natural signals. However, there few 'off shelf' software options for bioacoustician interested synthesizing that combine ease use with versatility. Here, we introduce SynSing, a free, open-source graphical user interface (GUI) generating synthetic and seismic...

In 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an abrupt overhaul of many academic practices, including transition scientific events, such as workshops, a fully virtual format. We describe our experiences organizing teaching online-only statistical phylogenetics workshops lessons we learned along way. found that online present some specific challenges, but format choices rigorous planning can alleviate concerns typically associated with medium. addition, have unique advantages flexibility...
