FIGURE 4 | Estimated mean dates for biogeographic events in Erythrinidae on tectonically active (Western) and passive (Eastern) continental
margins. (A) Phylogenies of species in erythrinid genera from Figure 2A. Numbered circles represent biogeographic events dated using the geological
literature (Table S3). Lettered tip labels represent biogeographic areas on the map. Red numbers at tree nodes represent mean divergence time esti-
mates (Ma). (B) Lineage-age distribution of biogeographic events for clades in Panel A. Estimates are reported for minimum, median and maximum
(mean dates from Figure 1) event age (Table S3). Ages of tectonic uplifts are indicated by horizontal rose bars. Note pulsed-age distribution of bio-
geographic events in clades on the active Western margin, while the more continuous age distribution of events on the passive Eastern margin. Note
opposite directions of watershed migration and geodispersal routes. Fish photographs: Hoplias and Erythrinus (Martin Taylor) and Hoplerythrinus

If you missed the talk due to the recent daylight savings time switch, worry not! Sacek’s wonderful talk is now on Youtube. We are happy to help you reach him if you have questions.

Agree with this 100%. Reviewers should be acknowledged.

Unfortunately some journals also ask not to thank reviewers(!!)

Mobility of South America’s transcontinental drainage divide and shrinkage of the ParanΓ‘ river basin linked to lithologic and geodynamic controls - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Mobility of South America’s transcontinental drainage divide and shrinkage of the ParanΓ‘ river basin linked to lithologic and geodynamic controls

Happy to share the paper by my former MSc student from UFOP, Brazil. Congrats Caio!

Caio analyzed the underlying controls on the position and mobility of the transcontinental divide in South America.

Congrats to QC undegrad Adriana Zumba who also contributed!

Let me test this super cool idea, it’ll just take 10 min (not!). It’s not like I have a week (with a weekend and a holiday in between) to submit final grades anyway. Ok ok, back to grading…

Very good point.

And it reminds me of something slightly macabre that a mentor once told me: papers won’t come to visit you when you’re on your death-bed…

Not sure what is the consensus nor the beat tool, but the early career speaker at DELTA H this year, Helen Dias, gave a cool presentation on landslide identification through Object Based Image Analysis. Her paper is here:
