Can't recommend this enough for phylogenomic analyses—especially for someone like me who struggles to interpret those 'abstract' (wordy) black-and-green terminal outputs. Try this friendly black-and-green instead!

Mesquite 4 beta released! Many new features, esp. phylogenomic. Check out the trailer and longer video on the home page: www.mesquiteproject.org, and use the download link there to get a copy.
Feedback welcome! Ask and discuss on our new Google Group (groups.google.com/g/mesquite-p...).
A new method for trimming alignments in #phylogenomics — PhyIN. It identifies and trims regions with high phylogenetic discord. Able to trim well even on single loci — an advantage for gene tree/species tree studies. #evolbiol #phylogeny 🧪http://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.18504 Some backstory... 🧵
One year on, we’ve heard little reaction to our paper conceiving #species as process-bound, historical, and without natural rank. Integrative #taxonomy and #phylogenetics should love the concept; #speciation biology might not, but it could. #evolbio #philbio #philsci #hpbio
The first of a series of posts about our field work in Madagascar.

Thank you!
have you seen the palp and epigyne?
I was rereading Tinbergen's "On aims and methods of Ethology" this morning and was awakened by this: "It seems to me that...we...will always need naturalists and observers as well as experimenters; we must...not discourage the [person] with a gift for observation."
I have the gift for observation.

With the discovery of Tenkana jayamangali, our knowledge of jumping spider diversity has become a bit richer! (doi.org/10.3897/zook...)
And oh, by the way, belated Happy International Jumping Spider Day!
Iranattus rectangularis, known only from a male specimen from Iran, is now reported in India, including a female specimen.

I am convinced that the obsession with lawn grass in North America is an oil and gas lobby. The energy consumption involved in growing it and mowing it when it grows is redundant. And I’m not counting the energy used in processes surrounding the core objective!

The male is on the left, and the female is on the right.
I can't think of a better way to celebrate Darwin's Day! Introducing Ghatippus paschima, a new plexippine jumping spider from the Western Ghats of India! For more: zookeys.pensoft.net/article/1141...
