Phylogenies of long-lived plants often exhibit short molecular branch lengths and high levels of gene-tree conflict. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these patterns remain unclear. We e.....
Excited to share a new paper! "Sorting of ancestral polymorphism and its impact on morphological phylogenetics and macroevolution". Part of some work I've been doing on modelling the evolution of polymorphic traits in fossil echinoderms.

Abstract. Intraspecific phenotypic variation provides the basic substrate upon which the evolutionary processes that give rise to morphological innovation,
The Pease Lab in the Dept of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at The Ohio State University is looking for a Postdoc interested in genotype-phenotype-environment evolution in plant and animal genomes. Details at osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/OSUCar... and more info at www.peaselab.org
Congrats to (newly graduated) Dr. Ellen Weinheimer for her new publication in @theplantjournal.bsky.social on drought responses in the iconic umbrella acacia of the African savannas using a "differential gene reaction" analysis developed for this project onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/....
Excited to announce a paper led by PhD student Christina Harvey on the evolution of paralog synfunctionalization in the calsequestrin gene family. Vertebrate muscle physiology (particularly birds) meets gene family evolution and phylum-scale RNA-seq journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...
New paper from our group by Christina Harvey in Proceedings B @royalsocietypublishing.org on the fascinatingly, unexpectedly complex evolution of vertebrate skeletal muscle myosins. Thanks to collaborators Matt Fuxjager, Eric Schuppe, and Michael Brainard. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...
Author Summary Duplicated genes adopt different functional relationships that can directly influence physiological processes. Calsequestrin-1 and calsequestrin-2 are two similar proteins expressed fro...
We studied the genetic basis of drought response in two well-known and widespread species of African acacia by analyzing gene expression reactions across a water deprivation experiment using a newly ...
