How fast are viruses spreading in the wild?

This study evaluates dispersal metrics for viruses using simulation and compares their spread in animal populations, finding robustness to sampling effort and human-mediated dispersal signatures.

Sampling bias and model choice in continuous phylogeography: getting lost on a random walk

The paper compares two phylogeographic models, showing that sampling bias affects Brownian Motion Phylogeography (BMP) and that the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process (LambdaFV) is more robust but applicable to different scenarios.

Accounting for ambiguity in ancestral sequence reconstruction

This study introduces a new criterion for ancestral nucleotide reconstruction that improves accuracy while accounting for uncertainty in the inferred sequences.

Bayesian molecular dating as a "doubly intractable" problem

This paper presents a solution to the challenge of incorporating fossil data into Bayesian divergence time estimation using the exchange algorithm.
