deep-time evolution, phylogenetics, anaerobic protists, the tree of Life. Science depends on vigorous respectful debate and evidence-based reasoning. I like cats. This is my personal page and what I post here has nothing to do with my employer.

@andrewjroger.bsky.socialNew version of our paper on gene tree topologies under duplication, loss, and coalescence. (Led by @smishra677.bsky.social) 1st version was wrong: we should have been conditioning all our expected branch lengths on seeing a duplication at all. Now fixed! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Show PostLooking for phylogenetic diversity in your meal? The answer is in your local pond water-- Protists: it's what's for dinner!
Show PostNow published :) doi.org/10.1093/bib/... and available here github.com/theLabUpstai...
Show PostI used to think I had it rough doing fish phylogenetics, then I read stuff from people working on single celled organisms. Bacteria had people flat giving up in the 60's, eukaryotes don't seem to be much better. Talk about polytomies!
Show PostThe Tree of Life web project is back! A phylogenetic view of biodiversity way ahead of its time (ca. 1995!), conceived and led by David Maddison, collaborative & human-curated, widely used in teaching. Defunct technology had doomed it until Travis, Danny, and Andrew revived it. 🥳🎉 🧪 #evolbiol
