New #openaccess paper & method in @SystBiol: https://doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syad018

We introduce and implement a newly developed approach to reconstruct potential past distributions for ancestral lineages across North American #Heuchereae and across a paleoclimatic record extending from the late #Pliocene. We employ an improved framework with a #coalescent simulation approach to test and confirm previous hybridization hypotheses and identify one new intergeneric #hybridization event

Identifying climatic drivers of hybridization with a new ancestral niche reconstruction method

Abstract. Applications of molecular phylogenetic approaches have uncovered evidence of hybridization across numerous clades of life, yet the environmental facto
