A new preprint w/ @landismj.bsky.social that I’m excited to share! We develop a theoretical framework linking evolutionary scenarios to mathematical constraints on parameters that produce given stationary frequencies in state-dependent speciation-extinction models. We call these “rulesets.” #EvoBio

Abstract submission is open for SICB 2027!
Come share your research and learn about the most exciting areas of integrative, comparative, and organismal biology in Pittsburgh, PA on January 3-7, 2027. The abstract deadline is August 28 at 11:59 PM HST.
The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) encourages interdisciplinary research across levels of biological organization, from molecules to ecosystems. The presentations at SICB’s annual meeting integrate knowledge and approaches across fields to advance biological knowledge, education, and outreach.

A few guidelines, as you are preparing your submission:
•	If you have not already done so, you will first be asked to create a profile within the meeting platform.*
•	Once you submit, you will be able to log in and edit your abstract until the deadline.
•	Titles are limited to 100 characters and abstracts are limited to 225 words.
•	The Best Student Presentation competitions for some divisions require the submission of an extended abstract. You can view guidelines here: https://sicb.org/awards/best-student-presentation-bsp-program/
 
Questions about the abstract submission process can be addressed to the SICB Program Officer, Matt McHenry: ProgramOfficer@sicb.org.

We also welcome proposal submissions for symposia at SICB2028 in Los Angeles, CA! The form is here. Initial proposals require only a concept summary. For questions or guidance see our Symposium Proposal Guidelines, or contact the Program Officer Elect, Britt Heidinger, with questions at programofficer.elect@sicb.org.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Pittsburgh!
