In my opinion, #evolution is inherently complex & data-driven: #fossils, #molecules, #phylogenies, #simulations...
But #teaching with real workflows is hard — setup time, data formatting, and #software complexity eat #class time. Well #evolved was built thinking about these barriers

💻Lightning talk time! Hiruni Wijewardena takes us through a method to calculate microbial mutations with recombination-aware #phylogenies. Check out how this was applied to a collection of E. coli isolates from bloodstream infections! #MicroSeq2025 #bacteria #mutations
Following a marvelous time at ISBA11 and our PAASTA conference, we're back to sharing the work of our community with you here!
@ipatramanis.bsky.social PAASTA talk from March about PaleoProPhyler a tool for #phylogenies from ancient proteins is now live on our YouTube youtu.be/2gVEQyinL4A

Phylogenetic, biogeographic, and morphological data contributing to this study, which integrated plastid and nuclear phylogenies with expanded taxon sampling to reveal four major clades and eight subclades, as well as polyphyly in island lineages, a Cretaceous origin with post-Oligocene diversification, and vicariance and long-distance dispersal as drivers of the current distribution of the fern genus Hymenasplenium.
Integrating plastid and nuclear #DNA #phylogenies with expanded #taxon sampling, Xu et al. report major advancements in understanding the #fern genus Hymenasplenium, demonstrating polyphyly in island lineages, and more! doi.org/10.1111/jse....

Stratigraphic occurrence of fossil evidence for particular orders of Platyhelminthes (https://doi.org/10.1590/S1984-4689.v41.e24002). Phylogeny follows Littlewood and Waeschenbach (2015) with the exception of Neodermata which follows Brabec et al. (2023). See Table 1 and text for further details of each find.
Although the #fossil record is patchy and some clades lack one, the finds which are available are surprisingly concordant with some of the latest molecular #phylogenies (free-living forms > Monopisthocotylea > Cestoda > Trematoda) 10.0.3.248/j.cub.2023.0...
Examples of characteristic traces or structures attributed to representatives of Platyhelminthes which can be preserved in the fossil record. (A) Modern marine polyclad producing a mucociliary trail (drawing based on Collins et al. 2000); (B) Modern planarian producing a mucociliary trail (drawing based on Pantin 1950); (C) Circlet of hooks attributed to monopisthocotylean neodermatans associated with Devonian gnathostome fish (drawing based on Upeniece 2001); (D-F) Igloo-shaped concretions attributed to gymnophallid trematodes in a fossil bivalve (drawing based on Rogers et al. 2018) and a modern bivalve (drawing based on Ituarte et al. 2005); (G, H) eggs attributed to eucestode neodermatans in a Permian coprolite (drawings based on Dentzien-Dias et al. 2013). Scale bars: A = 5.0 mm, D = 0.5 mm, G = 1.0 mm, H = 50 μm.
