This study compares taxonomic classification methods for DNA barcoding, finding that phylogenetic placement methods excel for arthropod COI barcodes while composition-based classifiers perform better for fungal ITS.

This study examines how mutualistic Mullerian mimicry influences macroevolutionary diversification patterns in Ithomiini butterflies, finding that color pattern age drives species richness but not phylogenetic diversity.

This paper introduces TreePPL, a probabilistic programming language for phylogenetics, enabling flexible modeling and inference with various algorithms.
