If anyone has videos of all the dancing from the super social at #Evol2025 you should totally post them. A few of us are curious how we looked 😅😅 #Evol25

Menna Jones @mennajones.bsky.social describes a multi-regime bounded Brownian motion model
This model is assessed in frogs 🐸 to show that there may be shifts in developmental constraints

Not accounting for codon evolution?
You may end up with large amounts of false positives in tests for selection!

Hannah Verdonk @hverdonk.bsky.social describes Multiclass Synonymous Substitution (MSS) models
This model helps us avoid the trap of assuming all synonymous substitutions are created equal
The method captures selection on tRNA abundance

Alberto Rivera of the Baxevanis group @baxevanislab.bsky.social presents on the allorecognition in cnidarians 🪸
There is evidence for synteny and conservation across allorecognition complexes in Cnidaria... How does this compare to bilaterians?

Ryan York of @arcadiascience.com discusses Biological Foundation Models
These models aim to soak up all biological data and spit out biological understanding
The models, however, are hitting a plateau
More parameters != More information

Lei Curtis @leicurtis.bsky.social explores the role of inversions 🧬↔️🧬 in the Atlantic Cod 🐟
They combine results from multiple methods to identify the most likely inversions give within and between method variation
Small inversions happen! And they are common.

Alex Dornburg reminds us how much cool science is enabled by phylogenetic trees.. but our trees often have broken spots
Can we gather enough data to fill in our tree gaps and overcome bias and noise?
Depends on what data you are looking at!

Sarthak Mishra @smishra677.bsky.social explores tree topologies possible during gene duplication
2 spec & 1 duplication = 9 trees!
3 spec & 1 duplication =135 trees!
The further the duplication is from speciation, the easier it is to find a tree 🌲 through the forest 🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳

Olivia Reidling of the @rokaslab.bsky.social explores the global 🌏 diversity of Aspergillus fungi w/ machine learning
She finds high taxon richness in human-associared plant classes
The resulting taxon distribution prediction align with known biological features (acidity etc)

Jacqueline Peña @jjpena-ecoevo.bsky.social asks if humans 👥🍺🍷🍞 left an impact on wild yeast 🌳
They estimate that S. cerevisiae spread across the global after the last glacial maximum
Looks like wild strains are NOT independent of human movement
