A major #update to my #collection of #morphological #matrices worthy to infer #networks:
a bunch of matrices we generated and reanalysed for a paper by S. Renner, D. Sokoloff, and me dealing with ancestors, hard polytomies and seed plant evolution; depicted not as the usual cladograms (where ancestor-descendant pairs must trigger unsolvable hard trichotomies) but as a "Romerogram" (or spindle graph) that shows #dichotomy as well as #buddingEvolution, i.e., #phylogeny

This #DeepLearning model integrates #morphological and #molecular data for species identification in the Fabaceae, illustrating the value of DL for species identification and barcode evaluation in #plant #systematics.

Trichosporeae is the most #species-rich, systemically complex, and #morphologically diverse tribe in the Old World Gesneriaceae. Liu et al. report 5 new genera based on molecular #phylogenetic and #morphological evidence.

So you think you know your ctenophores?
Think again!

Bezio et al. describe a new family of benthic ctenophores, based on #morphological and #genetic data. Read their findings in a new #OpenAccess paper in #JSE!

"We present one modeling framework, Embodied #Computational Evolution (ECE), and employ it to investigate how two types of randomness—#genetic and developmental—drive the #evolution of #morphological complexity."
