Modeling the Evolution of Rates of Continuous Trait Evolution

B. S. Martin, G. S. Bradburd, L. J. Harmon, M. G. Weber

This paper introduces a new Bayesian model, evorates, to analyze trait evolution rates across clades, showing it can detect gradual and stochastic rate changes in cetacean body size evolution.

Reconstructing Squamate Biogeography in Afro-Arabia Reveals the Influence of a Complex and Dynamic Geologic Past

H. Tejero-Cicuendez, A. H. Patton, D. S. Caetano, J. Smid, L. J. Harmon, S. Carranza

This study reconstructs the biogeographic history of Afro-Arabian squamates to identify events shaped by geologic and climatic factors beyond standard models.

Hybridizing salamanders experience accelerated diversification

A. Patton, M. J. Margres, B. Epstein, J. Eastman, L. J. Harmon, A. Storfer

This study shows hybridizing salamander lineages have higher net diversification rates due to increased speciation and reduced extinction.

Macroevolutionary diversification rates show time-dependency

L. F. Henao Diaz, L. J. Harmon, M. T. C. Sugawara, E. I. Miller, M. W. Pennell

The paper shows speciation and extinction rates scale with clade age, finding faster rates in younger clades and demonstrating this is not due to statistical artifacts.

The choice of tree prior and molecular clock does not substantially affect phylogenetic inferences of diversification rates

B. A. J. Sarver, M. W. Pennell, J. W. Brown, S. Keeble, K. M. Hardwick, J. Sullivan, L. J. Harmon

This study evaluates how tree priors and molecular clocks affect diversification rate estimates in Bayesian phylogenetics, finding minimal impact when data are informative and substitution rates are low-to-moderate.

Estimating correlated rates of trait evolution with uncertainty

D. S. Caetano, L. J. Harmon

The paper estimates correlated trait evolution rates with uncertainty using Bayesian methods and applies the approach to two evolutionary case studies.

Fighting over food unites the birds of North America in a continental dominance hierarchy

E. T. Miller, D. N. Bonter, C. Eldermire, B. G. Freeman, E. I. Greig, L. J. Harmon, C. Lisle, W. M. Hochachka

The paper constructs a continental-scale interspecific dominance hierarchy of North American birds based on citizen science data and finds it is nearly linear, mostly predicted by body mass with clade-specific deviations.
