Soaring Systematics: an evaluation of biogeography and flight behavior in dragonflies and damselflies (Insecta: Odonata) using phylogenomics
Abstract. Dragonflies and damselflies (Insecta: Odonata) are descended from what were most likely the first winged animals, which flew ∼320 million years a

My very first post on here. I am stoked to share lab's latest paper led by @ethantolman.bsky.social. Ethan developed a highly scalable pipeline to differentiate between various gene flow models, including ghost introgression in phylogenomic datasets. Check it out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
GhostParser: A highly scalable phylogenomic approach for the identification of ghost introgression
A growing body of empirical research shows that interspecific gene flow is a widespread biological force that shapes evolutionary histories across the Tree of Life. Computational approaches designed t...
