That's a real, physical book, people. @lukejharmon #Rstats press.princeton.edu/books/phylogen…

Pretty cool. scholar.google.com/citations?user…

Can't wait to be able to check out this fun documentary staring my friends & colleagues @lukejharmon & @thesnailhunter_ (Christine Parent) "Snail Hunters (Official Trailer)" youtu.be/0qiAMNMxrJU?si… via @YouTube

The Biology Dept. @UMassBoston is searching for an Asst. Professor in "Microbial Ecology" (but 'microbial' is the operative word -- applicants studying evolution in microbial systems are also encouraged). For more info or to apply: employmentopportunities.umb.edu/boston/en-us/j…. Please share/RT.

Friends, colleagues, & other followers. I'm captaining a team in the Ride for Food '25 to raise money for Pete & Andy's Pantry in Rhode Island & no donation to our efforts is too small. To support us, please visit the team page here: ride.threesquaresne.org/team/658184. Thank you!!

For a more compact summary with all updates, check out my blog (blog.phytools.org), where you can also stay tuned for other new #phytools updates & features. 9/9

New simulator functions for absorbing bounded Brownian motion (sim.absorbing), Brownian motion with reflective bounds (sim.reflective), and multi-trend trended Brownian evolution (sim.multiTrend, blog.phytools.org/2025/07/a-mult…). 8/9

The #phytools R package has a new version on CRAN (cran.r-project.org/package=phytoo…) with various new models & updates, including.... 1/9

By #phytools user request... ancestral state estimation of a discrete trait when some nodes are known: blog.phytools.org/2025/09/ancest….

Cool figure made with the help of #phytools in "Evolution of thumbnails across Rodentia" by @rafaelamissagia et al. in @ScienceMagazine. I especially appreciate that the authors acknowledged using phytools for the plots, something that's often overlooked! doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Come check out @mayracvidal's departmental seminar at @UMassBoston this Friday! Open to the public. If you'd like to attend via Zoom, please contact me via email & I'll send you the link.

If you're local to Concepción, Chile, & you like #phylogenies, consider registering for this workshop we're offering at @USanSebastian sede Concepción. 👇

I suddenly realized why @Klaus_Schlp is a fan of this wine! #threetaxonstatement #phylogenygeek

Next week I'll be teaching in a workshop at @USanSebastian sede Concepción with @lukejharmon & hosted by Cristián Hernández Ulloa. I believe that enrollment is still open, so if you're local to Concepción, Chile, please check it out!

I'm not sure how, but I almost completely forgot I did this in #phytools even though it was only, like, two weeks ago: "A Pagel '94 type correlation model with one binary trait and one continuous character" using the discretized diffusion approximation (blog.phytools.org/2025/07/a-page…).
