The position of Assistant Professor in the programme/project/undertaking The impact of mass extinctions on parasite diversity and evolution.

Welcome to the SystAssn-SRUK/CERU-PalAss Morphological Phylogenetics Workshop application form. The workshop will be held at University College London on November 9th-11th. We look forward to seeing ...

Abstract. The fossil record is incomplete, as evidenced by the pervasive presence of ghost lineages throughout the Tree of Life. For example, across placen

Macroevolutionary adaptation of a continuous trait to different discrete states across species can be modelled using a phylogenetic state-dependent Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process. Existing infere...

Morphological data are essential for reconstructing evolutionary histories, particularly for fossil taxa, as they represent the primary source of information for integrating extinct lineages into ...

DeepBio@Leeds PGRs Amy Shipley and Lydia have published a review on the sixth mass extinction, as part of a working group on Cenozoic extinctions led out of the Anthropocene Biodiversity Centre at …

TREES Overview & Research ThemesTREES supports doctoral research across a broad range of themes. Applicants should align with at least one of these areas:

A fundamental assumption of hypothesis-driven decay experiments is that, during decay, the loss of anatomy follows a sequence broadly controlled by the intrinsic compositional properties of tissues. ...

Continuous characters have received comparatively little attention in Bayesian phylogenetic estima- tion. This is predominantly because they cannot be modeled by a standard phylogenetic Q-matrix appro...

The fossil record is an important source of information to understand biological processes that take place over timescales not accessible to human observation or experiments. Fossil data are not a...
