Talks
David Babst: Patterns of diversification on large species level supertree of extinct graptolites – Actually, more on methods for making such a supertree for extinct taxa than on diversification analysis, but excellent talk.
Gene Hunt: _Using fossils to test the link between speciation and phenotypic evolution – _another highlight of the talks, really looking at cladeogeneic vs anaogenic models of evolutionary change, modifying the approach of Folmer Bokma
Graham Slater: Roots, rates, and fossil states: A Bayesian approach for integrating fossil character information in comparative analyses.
Lars Schmitz: The effect of diel activity pattern on eye shape in reef fishes
Sam Price: Reef habitats promote the evolution of morphological diversity in reef fishes
Liam Revell: Phylogenetic Methods for Studying the phenotypic axis of adaptive radiation
Lunch – I practice my talk
Mike Sanderson: Terraces in phylogenetic tree space
Matt Davis: Exploring the power and parameter estimation of BiSSE
Tracy Heath: Estimating lineage-specific substitution rates under a Dirchlet Process Prior
Marc Lajeunesse: When to expect phylogenetic bias in meta-analyses
Felipe Zapta: a non-tree based method for species delimitation: Inferring gaps across a phylogeny.
My talk.
Allen Rodrigo: Coalescent entaglement: spooky relations from a distance
Arlin Stoltzfus: The causes of evolutionary transversion/transition bias
Jeremy Brown: Phylogenetic inference of infectious disease sources – A simple idea based on parapatry, not guaranteed to be robust, but still, an incredibly insightful and well-presented talk. See Jeremy’s recent PNAS paper (in tweets) for more background.

cboettig Bit surprised no mention of outgoing ASN pres (Losos) work in Ricklefs discussion of taxon cyclinghttps://bit.ly/k2ngqU #evol1111:27 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Ricklefs predicts it will take 10 more years before we (finally) move beyond Hubble’s neutral theory #evol11, says all ideas run 20 yrs10:57 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Ricklefs cites history of Island biogeography as an example of how observation and natural history play in our understanding #evol1110:54 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck

cboettig Ricklefs in ASN adress asks “in the next-gen era, are we still naturalists?” Naturalist is broadly one who looks for sci exploration #evol11 10:44 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Jeremy Brown solves real criminal cases with for causing infection using phylogeny, read the paperhttps://bit.ly/iQ4sjC #evol11 9:56 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Why more transitions than transversions? Selection? Mutation? Arlin Stoltzuf #evol11 shows more synon. transversions, so may be mutational9:38 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Allen Rodrigo, director of @NESCent, show “spooky relations” in coalescents. Conditional probabilities can be soo counterintuitive #evol11 9:25 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig #evol11 Christine Parent applies Leibold et al’shttps://bit.ly/lTz0y3 to disentangle enviro, phylogeny, and biogeography4:55 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Revell “also no trivial to average the posterior sample rates on the phylogeny. Fortunately I have a (R) function for that too.” #evol114:42 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Revell’s software now available as an R package #evol11 https://bit.ly/mDPeNT Includes Bayesian version of Brownie w/ unknown change pts(!)4:34 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Liam Revell describes his progress on his development blog https://phytools.blogspot… #evol114:32 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Sam Price explores “do fishes living on reefs evolve faster?” Yes. #evol114:23 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Lars combines paleontology and phylogenetic methods to infer which dinosaurs were nocturnal #evol11(see https://bit.ly/fxAHl2 for details)4:09 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Graham observes: so you probably don’t need fossils if your data evolved under brownian motion (which it didn’t) #evol113:03 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Graham Slater explores how to add fossil data, when it changes phylogenetic comparative inferences – and when it doesn’t #evol112:48 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Gene Hunt: evaluates punct. equib: long stasis well documented, but fewer studies of major changes at speciation events #evol112:04 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig David Babst- a supertree phylogeny of fossil plaktic graptolites: “floating beehives” #evol11 Alt method to randomly resolving polytomes1:53 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
cboettig Julie, aka @sabercatwoman discusses evolution of pleistocene coyotes who had to compete with dire wolves and sabertoothes #evol111:37 PM Jun 20th from TweetDeck
