Hey IQTree3 paper is out. Bread and butter for tree building anything in my workflow. They have a pretty standout documentation too.

New paper: "The Tree and Its Echo" — ultrametric organization from pre-numeric first principles.

Before numbers: marks on a bone. Three primitives: correspondence, order, nesting. Hierarchy without metrics.

The independence assumption is the fallacy. Baseline convergence: similarity is the default, not the exception. Tree = residual. P0 PASSED (p<0.001).

Predictable evolution is bad news for toads, good news for their predators

"Under certain circumstances, the process of evolution can be highly predictable, especially when there are limited solutions to a particular problem, such as resistance to dangerous toxins"

Cao et al. present integrative evidence from #molecular #phylogenetics, #gene flow, and morphological analyses, which supports the taxonomic treatment of Orostachys s.l. as three separate genera.
